Picture
Set in 1930's Old Hollywood.

Features 11 characters.
  • 5 main characters* (4 male, 1 female)
  • 5 supporting characters (2 male, 3 female)
  • 1 minor character (1 female)

Customization Options:
  • Interactive preshow
  • Optional intermission bit with audience interaction
  • Several scenes can be customized to suit the needs of your particular event

Show Requirements:
  • The show is heavy on costumes and moderate on set & props needed.
  • The show works best if there is a light board available to cue flashback sequences.
  • The show works best if there is a place just off stage where actors can change/wait for their entrances.

*Depending on your location, we prefer to bring at least the 5 lead characters with us to each event to ensure the best possible performance.  In most cases, event coordinators prefer to supply their own actors for the supporting/minor roles.  If you would like for us to supply the whole cast or any portion of the cast beyond the lead actors, that can be arranged for an additional fee.  If you would prefer to buy the script without having us supply any of the actors, that can be arranged as well.
