A one-person play about the life and times of Spencer Tracy. Acting edition] "No pussyfooting around, no beating around George Bush, TRACY is great." -- Las Virgines News Enterprise "Michael B. Druxman's piece is by no means the nasty expose that has come to be the fashion in so many recent Hollywood biographies.

The play is set on the Nevada location of Gable's...

The play finds Welles trying to find the financing for one of his film projects. It's a difficult task, since most of the Hollywood community considers him to be a "screwball." Pondering his life with his "other self," he tells us about his alcoholic father, his lonely years as a...

Maurice Chevalier was the quintessential Frenchman. He introduced the world to such memorable songs as "Louise," "Mimi," "You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me," and, from the Academy Award-winning film, Gigi, "Thank Heaven for Little Girls."

Insecure and dour, the only "true" loves in his life were his mother, who died in the 1930s, and the vast international audiences that adored him. Michael B. Druxman's play is set in 1963, when the star's failing health makes his ability to perform in the future questionable....
