“Enough laugh lines, mirth provoking situations and extravagant sight gags to outfit two rapid fire farces of the absurd.” – Variety

SYNOPSIS
Pack your bags for a stay at the Howard Johnson Motor Inn—where the beds are lumpy, the tempers are hot, and murder is always on the menu. In this razor-sharp comedy of errors, a love triangle explodes into three outrageous attempts at homicide, each more ridiculous than the last.
Arlene wants passion, Mitchell wants Arlene, and Paul just wants to survive. Schemes unravel, alliances shift, and no one can quite pull off the perfect crime. It’s a riotous night of betrayal, backstabbing, and killer laughs you won’t forget.
Murder at the Howard Johnson’s delivers extravagant sight gags, rapid-fire dialogue, and absurd twists that will leave audiences howling. Is all fair in love... even murder? Come find out in this delightfully twisted romp that proves revenge is best served with room service.
