American International Theater is casting for a new euro-pop jazz musical to be performed at the Tenth Avenue Mainstage during the San Diego Fringe festival. Poet T.S. Eliot's imaginary and real worlds are brought to life and intertwined in this euro-pop jazz musical. Eliot is gay, but his religious background and societal attitudes force him to hide this fact. Eventually he discovers that his greatest threat is not from London society, but from within the corridors of his own mind.
