Lenore has been performing her magical, musical floor show for ten years at the Tahitian Room in the Holiday–Everyday–Airport Hotel, three floors below parking. She works with a succession of dangerous paroled convicts whom she all calls "Donald". Everything rides on tonight's performance: Donald Number Seven wants to shake up the act by inserting his own material, and Lenore has secret plans for taking them to a new level. But something inexplicable is going on. Why are planes being diverted from the airport? What has happened to Donald's lover, Hernando? Who's in the elevator?

Donald and Lenore is a fiercely dark and comic play about survival, performance, American hegemony, tikis, incarceration, love and the power to resist annihilation with a little bit of glamour.

Donald and Lenore is also more than just a world premiere theatrical performance. For the entire run of the show, the Wosk Auditorium will be transformed into the Wosk Tahiti Lounge Cabaret. Cabaret seating and Tiki décor will contribute to the tacky glory of Lenore's subterranean lair and immerse audiences into the whole experience. Be one of the first to see this play and share in a unique evening!
