His purpose is to obtain permission to proceed with production, but his wealthy, and very proper parents are cautious from the outset. For them the theatre is personified by the gracious, comforting era of the Lunts and Ina Claire, and they are disturbed by the bluntness of modern plays. As John begins to describe his play, what starts out as a pleasant family gathering, appropriately at cocktail hour, quickly begins to come unglued. But warmth and humor surmount the disputes and cautious but hopeful anticipation prevails.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:ArialMT"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:LucidaGrande">Actors needed for the following roles:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:none; text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:LucidaGrande"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; "><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:LucidaGrande"> </span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:LucidaGrande-Bold"><b>John</b></span><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:LucidaGrande">.
