The director said\, "This show is a classic Fre nch farce\, which means physical comedy\, wordplay and a lot of mishaps. It's challenging for our student actors. But equally challenging is the costumes\, which must reflect Paris in the late 1800&rsquo\;s\, and the set\, which requires scenes not only at the hotel\, but also at Pinglet 's office."\n \;  \;  \;  \;  \;Behind the scenes su pport is lead by Lydia Oquendo (Stage Manager)\, Geneva Gleason (Costume s)\, Alison Simon and Emma Tabachnick (Stage Design)\, Alexa Derman and Victoria Guerriero (Hair/Makeup)\, Mary Kate Miller (Sound)\, Asher Horo witz (Graphic Design) and Rob Cassie\, Benji Schwartz and Alex Ying (Lig hting Design).\n \;  \;  \;  \;  \;The production of  \;A Little Hotel on the Side \;will be presented in the Westfie ld High School Auditorium\, located at 550 Dorian Road\, on Thursday\, N ovember 29\, at 4:00 pm\, and Friday and Saturday\, November 30 and Dece mber 1\, at 7:30 pm. \; \;General seating tickets are available for $10 at the door.  \;Tickets can be pre-reserved by emailing WHSt ickets@westfieldnjk12.org.
