Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs in the bedroom, where a group of insiders have staked themselves out to await the reviews. The group includes the excitable playwright; the possibly unstable wunderkind director; the pill-popping leading lady, treading the boards after becoming infamous in Hollywood; and the playwright’s best friend, for whom the play was written but who passed up this production for a television series. Add to this a drama critic who’s panned the playwright in the past and a new-in-town aspiring singer, and you have a prime recipe for the narcissism, ambition, childishness, and just plain irrationality that infuse the theatre—and for comedy. But don’t worry: This play is sure to be the hit they have all been hoping for.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><h1 style='mso-margin-top-alt:12.0pt;margin-right:.5in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left:0in'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>Roles: <o:p></o:p></span></b></h1><h1 style='mso-margin-top-alt:12.0pt;margin-right:.5in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left:0in'><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'>PETER AUSTIN</span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black'> – The playwright.
