FAB Grantee Program: FLIFF Presents: Waiting for Guffman
The Broward County Film Society and The New City Players presents Christopher Guests’ outrageous mockumentary “Waiting for Guffman” The evening starts with light refreshments at 6pm followed by the film at 7pm. After the film, join us for a maybe-not-so-serious panel discussion: “We’re Not in Blaine, Missouri Anymore“. Corky had his vision. The New City Players have theirs. Let’s talk about what making theatre in our community actually looks like.
About the film – Actor/writer/director Corky St Clair has moved from NY to the small town of Blaine, Missouri and written an epic masterpiece called “Red,white and Blaine” for the celebrations marking the sesquicentennial anniversary (that’s the 150) of the founding of Blaine. The amateur cast includes a dentist, two travel agents, a car mechanic and a fast food chain employee who all dream of fame and fortune. Corky writes to various producers and Mr. Mort Guffman will come to the one and only performance and decide whether it will make it to Broadway.
