This whacky comedy traces the bizarre entanglements of seven characters under the roof of Hotel Loopy. The hotel’s staff includes a depressive philosopher, a rubbery bell captain and a malicious maid, while the guests include a Tom Cruise wanabee, a French poseur and a harried trombone player, all accompanied by a lounge lizard on piano.

Awards and Reviews

2004 Dora Awards – General Theatre Divison

  • Nomination: Outstanding Performance for a Male – Rick Roberts

“Laughter can by the most powerful bond between performer and spectator; It is this ability to make contact with the audience, and then turn that contact into yet another joke, that animates and unifies Hotel Loopy”

– Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail
