Photo Flash: First Look at Emerson Collins in Laguna Playhouse's BUYER AND CELLAR

By:

Laguna Playhouse Artistic Director Ann E. Wareham is thrilled to announce the sixth and final show in the Laguna Playhouse 2015-2016 season, Emerson Collins starring in BUYER AND CELLAR, written by Jonathan Tolins and directed by Larry Raben. "To quote Barbra Streisand, "Hello, Gorgeous!" When I first saw this production, I knew that our subscribers and audiences would fall wildly in love with it and am thrilled to welcome Emerson Collins to our Laguna stage with the remarkable writing of Jonathan Tolins," says Wareham. BUYER AND CELLAR began previews on Wednesday, June 1; opened on Saturday, June 4 and will run through Sunday, June 26, 2016 at the Laguna Playhouse, 606 Laguna Canyon Road in Laguna Beach. BroadwayWorld has a look at the production - check out photos below!

Alex takes a job working in the Malibu basement "shopping mall" of a beloved "Funny Girl" megastar. One day, the Lady herself comes downstairs to play. It feels like real bonding in the basement, but will their relationship ever make it upstairs. BUYER AND CELLAR is an outrageous comedy about the price of fame the cost of things, and the oddest of odd jobs.
