Heaven and Hollywood presents two one-act plays looking at icons of the stage and the screen.

Act I – Noel Coward visits Oscar Wilde in heaven. They trade bon mots, talk about theater and dish about their loves. They ultimately delve into why Wilde, not Coward, became a gay icon. Adam Roper and Michael Teufel star. 

Act II — A true story set in 1944 Los Angeles, Norman, an Army Intelligence agent, is tasked by the FBI to flesh out Hollywood communists. A spirited Katharine Hepburn fights back. Connie Kirk and Jon Bolden star.
