PLAY READING: Overboard - HOTA

Title: Overboard – A Public Reading

Presented By: HOTA – Home of the Arts

Genre: Theatre / Satire / Comedy-Drama

Synopsis: Written by Sally Bedford and featuring Hugh Parker, Jolene Anderson, Emily Burton, and Sam Monaghan, Overboard is a fast-paced satirical comedy set aboard the cruise ship The Enterprize II.

While it delivers plenty of laughs, beneath the surface lies the dark underbelly of four very ordinary lives. Issues of class, parenting, loss, legacy, infidelity, and mortality play out against a backdrop where the line between comedy and tragedy is razor-thin. As the stakes rise, survival—no matter the cost—becomes the only goal.
