Moonlight and Magnolias by Ron Hutchinson February 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14
1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer
David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind, because the screenplay simply doesn't work. Famed screenwriter
Ben Hecht and formidable director
Victor Fleming are summoned to his office and together they fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most beloved films of all time.
Director Caroline Cash, who brought the hit musical-comedy, I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change to the Old Opera House stage last season, has assembled a cast of seasoned comedic talent to bring this farce to life, including
David Porterfield, J.D. Wine, Steven Brewer and Sandra DeRocha.
...a Hollywood dream-factory farce...At once a hyperventilating slapstick comedy, an impassioned love song and a blazing critique of Hollywood...just when you think it's all fun and games...[Hutchinson] turns the tables...he has a gift for enveloping you in blackness. And then, with a single line...he also can lift the heavy cloud and get on with the hilarity."
-Chicago Sun Times.
"Consumers of vintage Hollywood insider stories will eat up Hutchinson's diverting conjecture as to what actually happened behind those closed doors, a scenario given extra spark by the fractious interplay among the three men and their wildly contrasting demeanors...it's the hell-bent determination and entrepreneurial insanity of the independent producer to which Hutchinson pays tribute." -Variety.
"Frankly, my dear, this is one funny play...a rip-roaring farce...[with] witty, pointed dialogue and hilarious situations..." -NY Daily News.
