Set at a lavish hotel in Port Royal,
a city somewhere in the Caribbean,
the play is a zany mix of sex, vio

and has played in an episode of
The Parkers. Originally from
Idaho, Schwartz moved to Los
Angeles to start her acting career.
According to Schwartz, she came
to Portland following a love inter
est and is happy she made the
move.
“I haven’t been in an education
environment for a long time,” said
Schwartz. “It’s nice to come back
after being in professional work
where everyone is learning.”
The play also stars Jason Morrill
playing Jonathan, Madame
Rosepettie’s son who has prob
lems coping with his sheltered life;
SaTfih Rose as Rosalie, a promis
