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.
