ECCENTRIC
A stage play written by Ernest
Hemmings
We held auditions this week for ECCENTRIC,
our first play selected for production from
our weekly televised broadcast and we are
pleased to announce that it will be cast by
Saturday and we'll have dates and ticket
information posted on the site soon. Hope to
see you at the theatre in June. This one is
a humorous, erotic ride that should leave you
speechless. More to come . . .

I work with an attorney who brought MGM ON
STAGE to my attention. Upon visiting the
site, I discovered this book. Since we
encourage adaptations from screenplay to
stage and vice versa, I thought this might
be required reading. I know I'm going to get
it. I guess I'll post a review of it in a
future newsletter. Happy reading!
About the Author
Denkert, a theatre attorney and former head
of MGM Business Affairs, is author of the
recently published book, A Fine Romance,
about Hollywood and Broadway.
Sparkling text, glowing photographs,
innovative design. Royalties from the sale
of this book are being donated to The Motion
Picture & Television Fund, Hollywood's
charity of choice, and The Actors' Fund
Broadway's favorite charity.
For everyone who loves movie musicals, for
everyone who loves Broadway musicals, this
entertaining illuminating book provides
insights on exactly what happens when stage
meets screen. Do sparks fly-or do they
fizzle? Are there fireworks-or waterworks?
Each show, each movie, has its own history,
its own juicy stories, its own dark side, its
own ironic twists. Spectacular
photographs-many published here for the first
time-let theater buffs and movie lovers alike
witness these intricate, intriguing sagas.
Why was Gypsy a smash on stage and not nearly
as successful on screen? Why did it take
twenty-seven years for Chicago to travel from
Broadway to Hollywood? All the answers, all
the pictures, all the razzle dazzle that is
show business make the marriage of movies and
stage musicals truly A Fine Romance.
