Presided over by a prison matron with a taste for sadism and female flesh, poor Mary Eleanor enters this multi-cultural den of vice and ends up assaulted, betrayed and ultimately broken by the system, but that’s just the way it was in the movies.

They’re all innocent, just ask ‘em.

Hi, My name is Sunshyne Gay and I am an actress who is also working in this industry and sometimes it is hard to book work when there are limited jobs. I believe that whatever you want you have to work hard for it, so I am planning to direct a 90 minute play that includes an ensemble cast. I have a B.F.A. degree in Theatre, and I have been working in Los Angeles for 7 years, just trying to make it like you are. If you are interested in being in a production where you can use your gifted ability of acting while you are building your career, this is the project. Please submit if you are interested.
The production will take place on September 18, 19, 2009 in Reseda,Ca, at my church education building. It is a facility that is open for different projects and performances. I do not have a household name, but I do have a heart for this craft.
Synopsis:
Duncan Crawford, a bartender on the island of St.John, is considering abandoning his bar for greater adventure when an heiress from Manhattan, Emily Miles, wanders into his establishment. She begins to tell him te story of her life: how she was left at the altar at the tender age of nineteen by a fiance who mysteriously disappeared, how she has spend the past twenty years searching for this man, and how she now believes that she has found him in the person of Duncan. Duncan denies this, but Emily is certain. To complicate matters, Emily’s husband, Raymond, an investment banker, offers Duncan $10,000 to pretend he is the man Emily is looking for in the hopes she will finally come to some sort of closure over the event. The story continues to twist and turn right up to ambiguous conclusion: Duncan might be playing along with Raymond or he ma actually be the man Emily claims he is.
