About:As the curtain is raised on this drama, the foibles of the characters come into focus—the small town hard-working accountant who is trying to save his money in order to start his own business, the little rich girl whose only talent is identifiable by a dollar sign, the political performer fighting for power with his only negotiable asset, the disillusioned Vietnam veteran, and the dedicated thespian. In this richly tapestried setting filled with contemporary theatrical fledglings, The Unwilling Actress tells the real story of those who strive for a life in the theatre and of those who fail to understand the drives and needs that motivate these gifted and fragile human beings. Celia lives only when she has donned the mask of the theatre—whether it be the tragedian or the comedienne. How many of us do this in our daily lives without the trappings of the theatre? And how many of us wish that we could don the disguise of another person to achieve our goals in life?
