A loving satire of the eccentrics who sell theatre subscriptions over the phone. Between acting gigs, (much of the time), JARED (30’s, bookish) pays his bills by telemarketing for the Arena Theatre, a Los Angeles non-profit mostly patronized by the blue haired set. Jared grew up in New York City, and hasn’t been home to visit his mother in over ten years. Jared asks his boss, the evil CLEAVER, a musical theatre aficionado prone to bursting into song, for time off. Cleaver tells Jared he can have the time off if he wins the weekly sales contest, the biggest one of the year.
