About Us
"Drama began as the act of a whole community. Ideally, there would be no speculators. In practice, every member of the audience should feel like an understudy." ~ W.H. Auden

About the show:
Summary
The Lovers’ Landing Beach Hotel, a popular wedding destination, has acquired a certain mystique as the home of Sandy Toes & Salty Kisses. Recently inheriting the hotel from her late father, Audrina Brown quickly discovers that her Uncle Bubba (the hotel manager) is running a variety of “extra-curricular activities” on the property including cash-prize bingo, a rum distillery, and off-track betting. Adding to the mayhem, the hotel's wedding planner has just eloped and is nowhere to be found. Throw in a ditzy front desk clerk and several unique guests, and you've got a mystery, a love story, and a fun, fast-paced, comedy!
