The High Desert Players will present A Hotel on Marvin Gardens, written by Nagle Jackson and directed by Vincent Crosby, February 9-11 and 16-18 at the High Desert Center for the Arts located at the corner C and 8th streets, in Victorville.

The Story:
“All I want is to run everything and always be right. Now is that too much to ask?” Thus speaks K.C. No nonsense owner of ME Magazine, a popular rag dedicated to the upwardly mobile. K.C. Lives by herself on an island off the Conneticut coast, the island’s only inhabitant. It is April Fool’s day and K.C. and her publisher/lover, Bo are hosting their annual all-day monopoly game. They have invited ME editor Henry, who brings along Food and Restaurant Critic, Erna Tinker - “A bit of a dingbat, but she’s got a terrific palate”.  Through the course of two acts, we follow the game - both the familiar board game and the corporate game. Rose, a young school teacher is dumped on the island by a frusterated seducer. This storm bedragled visitor is a direct contrast to these terribly affluent and sophisticated New Yorkers. Her presence eventually leads to a show down. The discussion of ‘Passing Go’ , ‘Landing on Boardwalk’, etc. delight audiences who know this game by heart and the double meanings of corporate gamemanship are wickedly true, as America’s favorite board game becomes the metaphor for American greed.
