Come see a reading of my new play, "Final Curtain!"

“Artists follow their dreams. Billionaires just follow the money.”

A retirement home for actors is bought by a billionaire. He plans to kick them out and replace them with teenage TikTok influencers. But actors know how to make a scene!

Lyons Westmore is celebrating 170 years in the theater. What’s the secret to her ageless charm? Being a ghost. She haunts a theater that’s now part of a retirement home for actors. While the residents stars may have faded, they still shine, sing, scheme, seduce and strive for one last standing ovation.

But Lyons' theater—and eternal soul—are threatened when a billionaire buys the building with plans to replace the aging actors with teenage TikTok influencers—turning the theater into a gym for selfies. The performers do the only thing they know how—put on a show. What they don't know is that the billionaire is a former tap dancing frenemy.

Their final curtain is an act of defiance, proving that for this company, going out "not with a whimper—but with a bang" is the only option.

This hilarious and heartwarming new play probes the power of art and spirit against capitalism and AI.
