written and performed by Richard Harrington and Chris Kauffman, directed by Patricia Buckley. Lighting design by Elizabeth Greenman, sound design by Ian Murphy. Bios of Harrington, Kauffman and Buckley can be found on the website. Here is a brief performance history, sort of lifted from the website:

Their first show, Motel California, directed by Patricia Buckley of the Montreal and Toronto Fringe hit clown group Gams on the Lam, debuted at Surf Reality in New York City and has performed at the Westbeth Theatre Center, the New York International Fringe Festival, and many other New York venues. It has toured to Theatreproject in Baltimore, to the Buntport Theater in Denver, Colorado and to the Revolutions Festival at the Tricklock Theater in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as well as to Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Internationally, the show has toured the Canadian Fringe Festival circuit (Montreal, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Calgary, Prince George, Victoria, Vancouver) as well as performing at the Mezi Ploty ("Between the Lines") theater and music festival, a major cultural event in the Czech Republic held on the grounds of the Bohnice Psychiatric Institute outside Prague, at which thousands of festival guests mix with the patients for a weekend of theater and loud music. Harrington & Kauffman's participation in the event was made possible in part by a grant from the U.S. Information Service.

In the spring of 2001, the show performed at HBO's Aspen Comedy Festival, shortly after which it changed its name from Hotel California to The Show Formerly Known As, and then later on that year to Motel California, which it remains to this day.

Nharcolepsy premiered in New York at the Red Room and had a four-week run at the Gene Frankel Theatre in April and May of 2003. It toured in the summer of 2002 to the Thunder Bay and Winnipeg Fringe Festivals, and in the fall and winter it toured to Gettysburg College, the Buntport Theater in Denver, and the Revolutions Festival at Tricklock Theater in Albuquerque. In the summer of 2003, it went to the Toronto Fringe Festival.
