Hollywoodland

by Nora Louise Syran

(30 minutes) 1927. Four girls with broken Broadway dreams, leave New York and set off for Hollywoodland, California only to end up with a silent film director set in his old-fashioned ways, refusing to film a Talkie.

A fun comedy with music, the Charleston and more.
A mini musical: large flexible casting

Cast of 18; 5-11M, 7-13F, 6M/F (A smaller cast may be possible-this is under revision)
