<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">This fast-paced farce examines the scandalous world of Hollywood celebrities. Mitchell Green is a hunky movie star who could hit it big if it weren't
for one persistent problem. His hard-as-nails Hollywood agent can't seem to keep him in the closet. Will Mitchell’s career be derailed before it gets started with what his agent describes as a "slight recurring case of homosexuality?” This production contains
nudity, adult language and themes and is recommended for mature audiences ages 17 and older.
