                                                                  WESTERN RESERVE PLAYHOUSE
ANNOUNCES ITS 58TH SEASON
The comedy MOONLIGHT AND MAGNOLIAS is scheduled to open the 58th season and run on June 6, 7, 13, 14,
20 and 21.   1939 Hollywood is
abuzz.  Legendary producer David O. Selzni
(played by Ed Conrad) has shut down production on his new epic Gold With TheWind, a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s
novel.  The screenplay, you see, just
isn’t working.   So what’s an all-powerful movie mogul to do?
While fending off the film’s stars,
gossip columnists and his own father-in-law, Selznick  sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht
(Al Klesh) and pulls formidable director Victor Flemming (Dan Williams) from
the set of The Wizard of Oz.   Summoning
both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades and on a steady diet
of bananas and peanuts fed to them by the loyal and the ever present secretary
(Pat Hudson), the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that
will become a blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all
time.   Playwright Ron Hutchinson and director Jim
Volkert turn this storyline into a hyperventilating slapstick comedy, an
impassioned love song and a blazing critique of Hollywood.  Producers for WRP are  board members Sue Snyder and Marty Hess.
While Ed Conrad is new to the WRP
stage Dan William and Al Klesh are board members and have been seen in several
productions. Pat Hudson also has been in several WRP productions and
co-directed Don’t Hug Me a few season ago.  Director Jim Volkert once again brings an audience winning show to our
stage.
