About the Show

A story about Hollywood that's so unbelievable it's hard to believe it's not entirely true.

This unique theatrical production is a funny and entertaining story by Steve Guttenberg, a well-known film actor from the movies "Police Academy," "Three Men and a Baby," and "Cocoon."

The show features four actors, including Guttenberg himself, playing 90 characters, and takes the audience on a hilarious journey from Guttenberg's family home on Long Island to the glitz and glamor of Hollywood, where he reveals secrets about his rise to fame, including how he managed to sneak onto the Paramount Lot.

Along the way, he shares anecdotes about famous Hollywood personalities, from Paul Reiser to Tom Selleck, Kevin Bacon to Merv Griffin.

"I found it quite entertaining — very funny at times, cleverly staged, and a bit moving. This is not groundbreaking avant-garde theater, but undeniably charming for what it is."

"While the play is largely comical and light, there are some tender moments as well. Guttenberg is able to deftly move between the laughs to the moments of sadness and isolation."
