Glen Pitre and Michelle Benoit’s drama, “Floating Palace,” is based on their screenplay, and it is a hilarious translation characterized by melodrama, a murder-mystery, a tangled five-way love affair, bawdy vaudeville performances and finally … the poignancy of the end of a love.

With just a little imagination, the 100-seat theater becomes one of the showboats that roamed the waterways of south Louisiana in the 1800s, complete with a melodrama for the family and later, an x-rated performance for the all-male audiences.

The entire play — the melodramas inside a melodrama — hangs on the character of Brandon T. O’Glorioso, owner-manager of the showboat Floating Palace. Brandon’s problem is that he’s short of cash, has been deserted by all the players except his wife, and the two of them must play every part, including Brandon being both the hero and the villain (at the same time!).
