| Breakdown
Jeff and Hunter, two struggling writers, hear about a new musical theatre festival. However, the deadline for submissions is a mere three weeks away. With nothing to lose, the pair decides to try to create something new with the help of their friends Susan and Heidi. Eventually, Jeff suggests they write about what to write about. [title of show], taken from the space on the festival's application form which asks for the [title of show], follows Hunter and Jeff and their friends on their journey through the gauntlet of creative self-expression, learning lessons about themselves as people, friends and artists. [title of show] is, above all, a love letter to the musical theatre and the joy of collaboration.
