POLYESTER The Musical Opens 11/6 At The Actors Forum Theatre

By:

DHM Entertainment presents the World Premiere of POLYESTER The Musical with book by Phil Olson (Don't Hug Me, Nice Family Gathering), directed byWayland Pickard (Liberace: The Man, The Music, The Legend) lyrics by Olson & Pickard, opens this Friday, November 6th, 8:00 pm, at the Actors Forum Theatre in North Hollywood, California.

The musical plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm, and Sundays at 3:00 pm through December 20th.

The cast includes: Pamela Donnelly (All My Children, One Life to Live), Gwendolyn Druyor, Christopher Fairbanks, Robert Moon, and Jim Staahl (Second City, Curb Your Enthusiasm)

POLYESTER The Musical is the story of The Synchronistics, an over-the-hill ABBA wannabe group, who re-unite to perform at a ‘save the public access' TV station telethon. It's "Mama Mia" meets "Spinal Tap."

It was 1979, and The Synchronistics were big, really big. Big enough to be on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. Their hit single, "Better Together" rose to #2 on the Billboard Charts. Then something terrible happened that drove the group apart. And now, twenty years later, they're back together to perform at the WKLN public access TV station telethon.

Will they overcome their differences, act professionally, and help save WKLN from going under? Probably not. But, you never know what to expect when this dysfunctional group gets
together - - one last time!

This World Premiere Musical features 16 Original Songs including, "The Funk Train."

Actors Forum Theatre is located at 10655 Magnolia Blvd., North Hollywood, 91601.
