Synopsis

In this hilarious, fictionalized one-man show, Alex More has a story to tell.

A struggling actor in L.A., he takes a job working in the Malibu basement of entertainment legend Barbra Streisand.

One day, the Lady Herself comes downstairs to play.

It feels like real bonding in the basement, but will their relationship ever make it upstairs?

Buyer & Cellar is an outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things and the oddest of odd jobs.

Press Reviews

"Jonathan Tolins has concocted an irresistible one-man play from the most peculiar of fictitious premises... allowing the playwright to ruminate with delicious wit and perspicacity on the solitude of celebrity, the love-hate attraction between gay men and divas, and the melancholy that lurks beneath narcissism."

— The New York Times

"Fantastically funny."

— New York Post
