Synopsis:
In this sharp-edged, modern comedy, Mitchell, an up-andcoming
hot, young movie star, has a case of what Diane, his
caustic agent, refers to as a “slight recurring case of
homosexuality.” Mitchell begins to fall for Alex, a male hustler
with a needy girlfriend. The actors playing Mitchell and Alex
must be comfortable with male intimacy.
.

Casting the following roles:
DIANE: female (40s): acerbic; driven; well put together; trying
everything she can to keep the budding young star in the
closet and his career on track.
MITCHELL: male (mid 30s): heart throb, closeted, desperately
wants to be loved; doesn’t know how to mix career and private
life; NUDITY REQUIRED.
ALEX: male (early 20s): a hustler; sexy; considers himself
straight; he can’t believe he may have fallen for a client;
NUDITY REQUIRED.
ELLEN: female (early 20s): Alex’s girlfriend, she knows of his
“job”, but can’t help her feelings for him; in the end makes a
huge sacrifice that will change the course of everyone’s lives
