Directed By: Kerrin White

Broadway ballyhoo meets Hollywood hustle! This comedy is set on the luxury train, The Twentieth Century Limited, travelling from Chicago to New York's Grand Central Station. Aboard are egomaniacal theatre producer Oscar Jaffe, desperately in need of a hit show, and his former paramour and protégé, volatile actress Lily Garland, who abandoned him for a Hollywood career. Oscar is determined to sign her for his new show. Lily is just as determined to ignore his advances, professional and personal. Trying to make sense of the chaos are his long-time and long-suffering assistants Webb and O'Malley. Other hilarious characters include George (Lily's lover), Max (another ex-lover and producer) and a religious fanatic escaped from an institution.
