A solitary hotel room is the inspiration for Do Not Disturb, an evening of one-act plays to be presented at 59E59 Theaters beginning July 29.

Write Club NYC members Carey Crim, Jeffrey James Keyes, Peter Macklin, Geoffrey Scheer and Benjamin T. Scott have contributed the short works featured in the production that runs through Aug. 10 and officially opens July 31.

Directing the one-acts will be Terry Berliner, Carey Crim, Chad Larabee and Geoffrey Scheer. The cast includes Nathaniel P. Claridad, Kelley Curran, Noshir Dalal, Mark Emerson Philip Guerette, Peter Macklin, Ryan Murray, Derek Peith, David Sajadi, Timothy Sekk, Sarah Sokolovic and Carrie Yaeger.

In Do Not Disturb, press notes state, "this room plays host to a variety of guests including a newly married gay couple questioning the state of their union, a bachelor party gone horribly wrong when the entertainment receives an untimely call, a pair of ghost-hunters, a soldier returning to Iraq and a couple attending a wedding who find themselves at a crossroads. Each play offers a unique perspective of lives in transition and is by turns whimsical, thought provoking, poignant and often hilarious."

Do Not Disturb plays Tuesdays–Saturdays at 8:30 PM and Sundays at 3:30 PM. For tickets, priced $15, phone (212) 279-4200 or visit www.ticketcentral.com.
