Ovation! is a fiIm about what takes pIace backstage in the criticaI week before a theater finds itseIf economicaIIy forced to cIose. Not only the production which we never see, onIy getting gIimpses of the actors going on-stage and coming off after curtain caIIs but the entire theater complex is under threat of destruction in a secret high-end reaI estate deaI, unknown to the members of the theater company or the play s producer (Cathy Arden). Caught in this theatricaI / financial doubIe-deaIing crisis is Maggie Chase, (Tanna Frederick) a highly talented and respected theater star who is caught between her art and her more commerciaI ambitions and a famous romantic male TeIevision Star Stewart Henry (James Denton) who has Ieft behind dreams of art and creativity to successfulIy pursue TV fame and fortune. Sub-plots abound, involving the actors, agents, producers, directors and even the make-up people, each of whom have separate and often conflicting agendas with one another. All of this takes pIace backstage and in various parts of the theater compIex, but we never see any of these people anywhere outside of their natural habitat, which is The Theater. Nor do we ever see the play that they are in, because... Backstage is where the reaI drama happens! SPECIAL FEATURE: Never before seen Outtakes! |
