Synopsis

A young teacher tries to pull off a production of Guys and Dolls, but putting a musical together is never easy, especially with a megalomaniacal stage manager, a lead who is convinced that Wicked is a much better show and a girl who is clinically incapable of following directions (she has a doctor‘s note to prove it).

And to make matters worse, there aren‘t nearly enough guys to be the Guys.

A hilarious and poignant look behind the scenes of a drama club production filled with lots of drama.
