'Hot l Baltimore' at Westfield Community Players

"Hot l Baltimore" will open at Westfield Community Players in less than two weeks, next year.

The show is set in the lobby of a dilapidated old hotel. Despite its run-down, sometimes repulsive nature, the hotel's inhabitants have a personal relationship to the Hotel Baltimore and to their neighbors living in it. The play is comprised of a series of conversations between the residents of the hotel, who are contemplating an uncertain future after the hotel is condemned and scheduled for demolition.

The show features Leslie Riccie as Mrs. Bellotti, Sabrina Iacobellis as the Girl, Mike Petritsch as Paul Granger III, Jeanette Ricci as April Green, Roxanne Guarino as Jackie, Matt Coakley as Jamie, Peter Twill as Mr. Katz, Peter Curley as Bill Lewis, Linda Correll as Millie, Kate Murray as Suzy, Scott Avery as Mr. Morse, Al Contursi as Mr. Oxenham and Suzy's John, Phil Sarpong as a cab driver, and Noah Sokolsky as a pizza delivery boy. It is directed by Beatriz Esteban-Messina, produced by Lucille Bills and stage managed by Barbara Ruban.

The show will run at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays January 9-23 and 2 p.m. Jan. 17. Tickets cost $20 per adult and $10 per student or active military personnel.
