When she's cast as the "last girl" in a low-budget slasher flick, Sheena thinks it's the big break she's been waiting for. But news of the movie unleashes her malingering mother's thwarted feminist rage, and Mom is prepared to do anything to stop filming...even if it kills her.
The hilarious hit of 2009's Humana Festival of New American Plays at the Actors Theater of Louisville.

Here is a wild farce with twists of fate, sight gags, mistaken identities and hilarious comic lines. Jon Trachtman and Leslie Arthur are out of work musicians who room together in New York City. To save money, Jon has been filing tax returns listing the pair as a married couple. The day of reckoning comes when the Internal Revenue Service informs the "couple" they're going to be investigated by a Mr. Spinner. Leslie masquerades as a housewife, aided by Jon's fiancee, Kate. Complicating matters further Leslie and Kate are having an affair behind Jon's back, Jon's mother drops in unexpectedly to meet her son's fiancee, and Leslie's ex girlfriend shows up demanding to know why Leslie has changed and won't see her anymore.
Shakespeare in Hollywood (Comedy)
by Ken Ludwig
directed by Katya R. Ramsey

Sunday, May 6, 2012 at 2 PM
Lights, Camera, Shakespeare! It's 1934, and Shakespeare's most famous fairies, Oberon and Puck, have magically materialized on the Warner Bros. Hollywood set of Max Reinhardt's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Instantly smitten by the glitz and glamour of show biz, the two are ushered onto the silver screen to play (who else?) themselves. With a little help from a feisty flower, blonde bombshells, movie moguls, and arrogant "asses" are tossed into loopy love triangles with raucous results. The mischievous magic of moviedom sparkles in this hilarious comic romp. The latest hit from the author of Broadway's Crazy for You, Lend Me a Tenor, Moon over Buffalo, and Twentieth Century.
"Shakespeare in Hollywood will charm your socks off" -Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal. "A fast, funny, entertaining night!" -Arch Campbell, NBC-4. "So deliciously inventive, you'd swear that Ludwig and the Bard were in cahoots."-J.Wynn Rousuck, The Baltimore Sun.
WINNER of the 2004 Helen Hayes Award for Best New Play.
