Tinseltown

About Me

"Tinseltown" is an original show written by Doug Buffaloe, lyrics and book.
Synopsis:
A 1950's style Hollywood-like city called Tinseltown is the setting for this classic love story with a modern twist. Wesley Frank comes to Tinseltown all the way from Winesburg, Ohio to become "the next big thing." Upon arrival, Wesley meets two struggling bit actors, Blake Daniels and Andrea Angel. The two explain to Wesley that Tinseltown only allow one star to grace their heart at a time, and right now, that star is Jadan Phoenix, who is not at all the sweet, caring man he portrays himself as. And things only worsen when Wesley attempts to appeal to Jadan's better nature. But a sudden romance with Jadan's guarded personal assistant, Dannyon, begins to shake things up, as Wesley realizes Dannyon also has a song inside his heart. Wesley begins to draw out that song, as well as bringing hope to the bit actors of Tinseltown, who have laid silent for too long. And together, they decide to uprise against Tinseltown's head honcho's, pleading their case that all you have to do is "Hold On To Love."

Influences: Tinseltown's focus love story happens to be between two males. That is not to say that this show is about gay rights. It also just happens to be that the secondary love story is between a black male and a white female. That is also not to say that this show is about racial rights. This show is about equality all around. Love is blind, even to race, gender, disability, age, or anything else. Tinseltown never directly deals with issues of racial problems or homophobia, and therefore does deal with it. It imagines a world where people are not judged on by things like these, and instead judged on by how mainstream you can go. Sounds unfathomable, right? You don't have to look too far . . . . . . . And the sad truth is that in this real world people are judged on by the things listed above. This show attempts to be the voice of a new generation. One which imagines a world that doesn't have to deal with prejudice. So in this aspect, shows like Hairspray and Rent have certianly paved the way, and influenced some of the central ideas brought to surface here.

"It only takes one voice/To make the right choice/To turn things around today"
