ONCE IN A LIFETIME
By Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman
In December of 1928, entertainment world exploded with excitement over the release of the first all-talking picture, The Jazz Singer. Deciding to head to Hollywood and pursue this new phenomenon, three vaudeville troopers take a chance that will change their lives forever. After some hilarious blunders, one of them is made head of production at Glogauer Pictures and hurtled into fame…for now. Lighting fast, side-splitting comedic satire, and a cast of seventy different characters’ whirl together in a wild spoof of Tinsel Town.
