I’m real excited about the opening of my latest collaborative dramatic effort – “Life with Stewart.”   It’s a fun and unique story about Nick who loses his grandmother only to find out that his grandfather is the famous Hollywood legend Nicholas Stewart.  We created Stewart to have started out his career in a ground-breaking 1950s sitcom called “Life with Stewart” where he played Stewart Saunders and was married to his real life wife Rachel (yes, purposeful similarities with “I Love Lucy”).

We decided to build into our script an actual episode of his sitcom that we could do as a throwback “black and white” scene.  So our audience turns into the studio audience.  All actors are going pale faced, black and white costumes and a complete black and white set to recreate the episode which will also inform Nick some more about his family history that he never knew.

It’s a fun and clever way to move the story along (if we can pull it off!).  I hope everyone comes out to see it.  It’s going to be a blast.
