Hello gorgeous! Descend into the delightfully absurd world of Alex Moore, a struggling actor who lands the role of a lifetime—running the private shopping mall in Barbra Streisand's basement (yes, there really is one). But, when your boss is a celebrity, every day is filled with drama. Buyer & Cellar is an outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things, and the funny side of retail therapy. One man, one mall, one very famous customer… what could possibly go wrong?
Local favorite Daniel Bourque directs multi-Elliot Norton and IRNE award winner Victor L. Shopov in this fabulous, fast-paced farce about fame, friendship and frozen yogurt.
Jonathan Tolins is best known as the playwright of Buyer & Cellar, one of the most produced plays in America in 2016, The play won the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Solo Show and was named “Best Unique Theatrical Experience” by the Off-Broadway Alliance.
