 This Week in Westland
January 25, 2020 - February 2, 2020 

The last Weekend for Inspire Theater Suite Surrender: a farce by Michael McKeever - January 25 & 26, 2020 at 3:00 p.m.  *NOTE THE TIME CHANGE FOR JANUARY 25, 2020 Westland Center for the Arts is located at 33455 Warren Rd.  It's 1942, and two of Hollywood's biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel -- assistants, luggage, and legendary feud with one another in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime performance...that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this hilarious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 30s and 40s. It is not suitable for all ages.  For tickets and more information visit  https://inspiretheatre.ticketleap.com
