It's 1939 Hollywood. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's, "Gone with the Wind". While fending off the film's stars, gossip columnists, and his own father-in-law, the powerful movie mogul sends for famed screen-writer Ben Hecht and formidable director Victor Fleming. Locked in Selznick's office, living on bananas and peanuts, |
the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time.

A Comedy Melodrama by J. Mick Dunna
May 28th - June 12th
C.B. SeVille, is directing "Horse-Scents—The Movie", assisted by his trusted lackey and universal part doubler, Toad. The play-within-a-movie-within-a-play chronicles the tough times that Chip's Manure Museum has fallen upon, the minimal success of wife Patty's perfume, and daughter Sweet Roady's loneliness. Add the complications of Museum Curator |
Arnold Benedict's unrequited love for Roady, Avaricia Slime's obsession with the unattainable Chip, and the chance that the store and museum may fall into evil hands, and you've got quite a mess, until Vance Lancelot mysteriously appears on the scene, nobly astride his mount, Fligger, and accompanied by his sidekick Spud. Even financier Avaricia's assistant, Debit, is no match for all Vance's free-flowing goodness and light. Be ready -- C.B. recruits extras: bank drudges, dog interpreters, a shark choir, and other even less likely performers, from among the audience!
