Chateau La Roach
By Lauren Wilson
Directed by Tyler Olsen

Come to the beautiful Château Laroche for a weekend get-away, where you'll be greeted by a friendly host of... cockroaches!!  Crawling with slapstick humor and circus-like stage action, this award-winning comic farce will take you through a weekend in the lives of François and Mimi Laroche, the French proprietors of the château on the shores of a peaceful American lake.  The owners are horrified to discover the enormity of their cockroach problem as they prepare for a big weekend of visitors.  Why do the cockroaches have to appear just when they're trying to make a good impression on a famed travel writer?!  On top of that, they've learned the health inspector is making a surprise visit — disguised as a typical guest!  Could the inspector be one of the young honeymooners?  The wealthy widow or her hypnotist?  The British bicyclist?  The manager of a bratty child star?  François launches an all-out war on the creepy-crawly creatures as the disgruntled staff members struggle to hide the pesky problem from the hotel guests.
