Moonlight and Magnolias

June 1 - 4, 2023

By Ron Hutchinson

The year is 1939 and legendary Hollywood producer David O. Selznick has a problem. He has just fired the director of Gone with the Wind, and the script needs to be rewritten for the umpteenth time. He needs a new director and a new writer - NOW. However, the director he wants, Victor Fleming, is working on The Wizard of Oz, and the writer he wants, Ben Hecht, has never read the novel. Selznick decides that the only way to get it all done is to lock the doors, close the shades, and - while on a diet of just bananas and peanuts - the three men labor over five days to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time. Loosely based on a true story, it’s a hilarious homage to the men behind the American movie classic.
