California Suite
Chemically Imbalanced Theater
1422 W. Irving Park Road Chicago
The action takes place in four playlets, all set in suites 203 and 204 of the elegant Beverly Hills Hotel. "The Visitor From New York"- Hannah Warren loves New York. Billy, Hannah's ex-husband, loves L.A. Can two happily divorced parents raise their only daughter 3000 miles apart? "The Visitor From Philadelphia"-Marvin Michaels awakens with a horrible hangover and a young woman he doesn't know beside him in bed. Moments later, Millie, Marvin's wife knocks at the door. Can Marvin and Millie's fifteen year marriage survive Marvin's "minor trangression"? "The Visitors From London"- When Diana Nichols loses the Oscar to another woman and husband Sidney to another man the same night, some inconvenient truths intrude on their marriage of convenience. "The Visitors From Chicago"- Gert, Stu, Beth, and Mort are best friends sharing a dream vacation until an ultra competitive tennis match turns best friends into arch enemies.

California Suite Review Round-Up
| Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended
"...In the wrong hands, his characters become mere sketch comedy stereotypes, and most members of Josh Johnson's uneven cast aren't up to the challenge. Some are content to skim along the surface, playing the easy gags and missing the subtext. Others play Simon's anger—his people are often as hostile as Harold Pinter's—and lose the comedy. A few get it right (Joanna Riopelle, Evan Voboril, Eric Bays, and Tori Ulrich), but their efforts aren't enough to sweeten this bitter Suite."
