color:#000000;">Directed by STEPHEN KAY</p>
<p style="margin: 15px;font-size:12pt;
font-weight:normal;font-family: Georgia, arial, sans-serif;
color:#000000;">Starring:<br>
<br>
Ed Conrad as David O. Selznick <br>

Kristen Jezek as Miss Poppenghul</p>
<p style="margin: 15px;font-size:12pt;
font-weight:normal;font-family: Georgia, arial, sans-serif;
color:#000000;">Five weeks into shooting, MGM's epic Civil War
film Gone with the Wind was headed toward an epic failure.
Fearing critical and financial disaster, producer David O.
Selznick called up director Victor Fleming from the set of The
Wizard of Oz to replace the original clueless director, and
called in"script doctor" Ben Hecht to rewrite the awful original
script. But Hecht hadn't ever read Margaret Mitchell's
sprawling, thousand-page novel! Over the course of just five
days, the three men and Selznick's assistant, Miss Poppenghul,
frantically act out the book in Selznick's office and craft what
was to become a legendary script.</p>
<p style="margin: 15px;font-size:12pt;
font-weight:normal;font-family: Georgia, arial, sans-serif;
color:#000000;">CVLT's production is directed by Stephen Kay, of
Solon. "The story is mostly true," Kay said. "That aspect
attracted me to want to direct it, along with some genuinely
funny scenes that we are bringing to the stage. I don't want to
give too much away, but peanuts and bananas are involved."</p>
<p style="margin: 15px;font-size:12pt;
font-weight:normal;font-family: Georgia, arial, sans-serif;
color:#000000;">The cast includes actor Ed Conrad in the role of
real-life demanding film producer, David O Selznick (his second
turn in this role). Actors Robert McCoy and Tim Champion portray
director Fleming and writer Hecht, who are composite characters
based on their real-life counterparts. Kristen Jezek plays the
role of Miss Poppenghul.</p>
<p style="margin: 15px;font-size:12pt;
font-weight:normal;font-family: Georgia, arial, sans-serif;
color:#000000;">"After the roles were cast, we all met at the
director's house and watched Gone with the Wind," said CVLT
stage manager Cindee Catalano. "It's a very long movie. That
helped give us the right perspective of the enormous job
Selznick and the writers undertook in less than a week."</p>
<p style="margin: 15px;font-size:12pt;
font-weight:normal;font-family: Georgia, arial, sans-serif;
color:#000000;">The play is set in 1939, with the shadow of Nazi
Germany and the undercurrent of Selznick and Hecht's Jewish
identity, as well as the treatment of blacks in the Civil War
era. </p>
