Meadow Brook Theatre's 50th anniversary celebration continues with a comedic trip to the 1980s. Small-time theatre producer Martin Klemmer knows he's found the next big Broadway hit: "Star Wars: The Play." He just needs someone-anyone-powerful to return his calls! His best bet to get the attention he needs is to get a famous cast. He goes after big-name stars Sylvia Glenn and Leatrice Monsee for the leads. Unfortunately for Martin, Sylvia and Leatrice can't stand each other, but Martin is convinced that if he can just get them onboard, another big star will join, and he'll have a hit on his hands.
