The year is 1955. The time is the Red Scare, when communist witch hunts and blacklisting destroyed countless Hollywood careers. Fading film star Brenda Dayton is on location in a small town, surreptitiously making a movie that dares to address these attacks on free speech. Two locals cast in bit parts, Jenny and boyfriend Bill, suffer a fallout over Jenny's infatuation with the star. And when a women's club, getting wind of the film's true theme, urges Dayton to walk off the set, Jenny comes passionately to her defense. The two draw closer as a public protest turns ugly, leading to an outcome neither could have imagined. Here's your front row seat all the way to final curtain! "A compelling examination of the Red Scare's effect on Hollywood." Margo Lion Ltd, New York "A moving and ever-poignant piece about the silencing of art and free thought." Amy Levinson, Geffen Playhouse "Through fun lyrics and well developed characters, this musical commendably tackles serous issues, such as freedom of speech, in a thought-provoking manner...communicated with a healthy dose of humor." Mark Taper Forum, Los Angeles

Autorenporträt
This book has been a true amalgam of cooperation between Debra Head, Vaughn-Marie Rodriguez, Alexis Lewis, and me over a multiyear period. Debra Head, a long-time friend, editor, consummate English teacher, and mentor has worked with me through the years to develop my writing style and polish the dull areas. Her expertise is well known among the local area educators as a teacher and expert on the English Language. I would not publish one word without her first giving me the nod. Vaughn-Marie is my cousin and a first-rate editor. Her many insights and edits to this manuscript have been instrumental in helping this true collaboration to become a 'great read.' Her strong persistent Christian faith has encouraged mine and Debra's as well during this arduous journey of our own. To her I give my undying gratitude and hope she will continue to work with me on my upcoming projects. Alexis Lewis, my oldest daughter, has been tremendous help with the technology, cover design, and artwork. Her skills have been significantly useful in overcoming some of the more difficult aspects of creating a book of this nature and bringing it to readers as a polished and professional looking book. To her I give my undying love and admiration and hope she will also work with me in more upcoming titles.
