"Unmentionables": An Unflinching Look at Hollywood's Secret Side

Today, it's no surprise that the Hollywood machine is one that has long run on secrets and lies -- but in 1937, the dirt, flesh and blood from which silver screen stars are made was hidden far below the surface. "Unmentionables" centers its unflinching spotlight on James Johnson, a top talent agent and lawyer who passionately protects the secrets of his clients. And right now, James is on the brink of his biggest deal yet: signing glitzy film star Joan Madison to an exclusive contract and making himself the mogul he's always aimed to be. But Joan harbors a secret -- her last chance at motherhood -- and she's not giving it up without a fight. This intriguing production from Nylon Fusion Theatre Company finds James weighing Joan's secret against his own ambitions ... sacrificing anything (and anyone) he must when his own secrets find their way to the gossip pages.
