Confessions of a Hollywood Star
Preview: Hear it

Dyan Sheldons comically melodramatic heroine casts her best friend, Ella, in a supporting role as they conspire to land a part in a reallive movie thats filming tantalizingly close to home. After enduring years of angst, Lola is graduating from high school and finally getting out of Dellwood Deadwood, New Jersey. She cant wait to move on to bigger and better things even if it means shell be studying theater at Brooklyn College and not her dream school, Londons prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. But destiny intervenes when Lola learns that a major Hollywood movie is being filmed right there in Dellwood that very summer! Lola wastes no time in telling everyone (including her nemesis, Carla Santini) that she, of course, is going to be in the movie. Now its just a minor matter of convincing the director to give her a part. Is the Drama Queen ready and wily enough to make the leap from the stage to the silver screen?
