Show Synopsis
       The titular Wobbly Palms Resort prides itself on being the finest two-and-a-half-star resort in Hawaii. Unfortunately, pride doesn't pay the bills. The resort is losing money and will be forced to close for good unless the staff can impress a mystery guest who's evaluating the property for a possible purchase. The staff's mission is simple: make sure nothing goes wrong during the unknown guest’s stay.
          Easier said than done!
          The chaos begins when a guest Mr. Carlton (Emmit Albers), leaves a mysterious tiki statue with newbie desk clerk Blair (Maggie Manatt), and suddenly, everything starts to go wrong! Could the tiki be cursed?
The French chef, Maurice (Ryder Scott), discovers the star of his dinner special—a lobster—has escaped. An obsessive young man, Philip (Isaiah Williams), is determined to pull off the world’s most elaborate marriage proposal to Amanda (Kaylin Hatfield), but he loses the ring in a piranha-filled pond. And a temperamental opera singer, Valentina (Gracie Gerard), preparing for her comeback concert, loses her voice and has to resort to communicating through charades and a clown horn.
        The pandemonium culminates in a crazy chase scene between the butterfly-net-wielding Chef Maurice and Claude (Jackson Wiegand), the unusually large lobster.
        Under the demanding-yet-supportive eye of manager Elaine (Gwen McClenathan), and with the perky help of activities director Kiki (Daniela Pacheco), the staff—including superstitious housekeeper Nalani (Addy Hurst), clumsy bellhop Spencer (Tristan Taylor), and Blair - must scramble to keep the resort afloat. Joining the mayhem are a host of colorful characters, including quirky scientists (Hunter Hiner and Carter Malveaux), an array of eccentric club members, (Anna Miller, A’rhianna Hansen, Abigail Wadhams, Trinity Miller, Aleeah Eichhorn, Isabella Wadhams andRorie Montano) who will keep you laughing throughout this action packed comedy.
          Ryan Smith and Hailey Henry are working backstage.
       This hilarious comedy proves that sometimes bad luck is simply good luck in disguise. Don't miss the chance to see the students of BGM bring this wild Hawaiian romp to life!
