Improvised comedy in the style of Neil Simon, where one hotel suite becomes a comedic pressure cooker for 3 hilarious improvised tales

One hotel suite. Countless misunderstandings. Relentless laughs.
Seattle Suite is a laugh-driven, fully improvised play inspired by the style of Plaza Suite and California Suite, capturing the signature humor of Neil Simon that is fast, verbal, and rooted in beautifully human flaws. Each night, a single Seattle hotel room becomes the setting for interconnected scenes inspired by your suggestions, friends overshare and spiral, romantic gestures go wrong, awkward silences stretch, and small problems become big ones. The comedy comes from character and relationship, building through sharp dialogue, escalating tension, and recognizable, lived-in situations. Perfect for fans of smart comedy, relationship humor, and classic theatrical wit.

Loose Cannons is Seattle improv at its most unpredictable. Every performance at Unexpected Productions in Pike Place Market is a one-of-a-kind experience: exciting, unexpected, a little dangerous, and always ridiculously fun. This is the show where anything can happen and usually does.
Part One: Part One: The night kicks off with a unique performance, setting the performers in a new format with special guest improvisers showcasing their signature style or a never-before-seen format. Your suggestions fuel the fire, and the improvisers will ignite the stage, bringing your ideas to life.
Part Two: The second half launches from a single audience suggestion, setting the performers in motion. It might start with a song, a monologue, or a rapid-fire group connection game. Whatever emerges will inspire spontaneous stories, surprising twists, and big comedic swings.
Loose Cannons is fueled by audience ideas, fearless performers, and the thrill of not knowing what happens next. You light the fuse. They run with it. What they create is entirely up to you.

We recommend the following:
• Comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement
• Comfortable shoes, as you will likely be standing and moving for extended periods
• A notebook and pen, if you would like to take notes on techniques or exercises
• A water bottle (some locations do not have water fountains)
• A “Yes, And” attitude. A willingness to participate, take risks, and be brave is the most important thing to bring
