Buyer & Cellar is a one man show in which one actor plays six different characters, including Barbra Streisand. Buyer & Cellar opened Off Broadway in 2013 and starred Michael Urie, a Julliard trained actor best known for his role on ABC's hit series Ugly Betty. Urie was replaced Off Broadway by Arkansas native Christopher J. Hanke.

Alex More has a story to tell. A struggling actor in L.A., he takes a job working in the Malibu basement of beloved megastar Barbra Streisand.

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 & Cellar is an outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things, and the oddest of odd jobs.

Tickets are $20.00 for general admission and $15.00 for Seniors (65+), Military, and Students. There are no assigned seats at The Studio Theatre.

The box office will open at 6:30pm on performance dates and the house will open approximately 20 minutes prior to curtain.
