Taking Ms. Streisand's coffee table book My Passion for Design as its jumping off point, Buyer & Cellar is the fictional tale of an underemployed actor who becomes curator of her vast collection of costumes, dolls, clocks and other ephemera which is arranged as a shopping mall in the basement of her Malibu Beach compound (which is the focus of the book). In the course of his fictional employment, he becomes shopkeeper, confidant and drama coach to the famous actress. As the Associated Press remarked on the New York production: "Streisand won't likely be coming, but you should!"

Creating the world of the play are original Scenic Designer Andrew Boyce; lighting designer Christopher J. Bailey and Projection Designer Alex Koch. Casting is by Mc Corkle Casting, Pat McCorkle, Casting Director, Katja Zarolinski, Associate.
