 "Moonlight
& Magnolias"
February 7-March 15, 2008
By Ron Hutchinson
Directed by Kevin T. Morales
This delightful play takes audiences into the inner sanctum
of 1939 Hollywood in a fun, fast-paced Bay Area premiere comedy.
Movie mogul David O. Selznick has just shut down production
on his epic movie, Gone With The Wind, and locked himself
in his office with screenwriter Ben Hecht and director Victor
Fleming -- whom he dragged off The Wizard of Oz set -- to
rewrite the script. The three of them work for seven days
straight re-tooling the adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's
celebrated novel, wrestling over every detail, from the shape
of the plantation pillars to Rhett Butler's famous final words
to Scarlett O'Hara. This funny and fascinating behind-the-scenes
piece comes to vivid life as three icons of the film industry
battle over what became one of greatest movies ever made.
Audience members are welcome to purchase
drinks and snacks downstairs and bring them to their seats
in the upstairs theater.
