The Debut
“There’s a method to the madness.”
When Mona Friedman is cast in a bit part at a small community theater, she transforms from a shy, unassuming housewife into a zealous method actor willing to do anything to protect the artistic integrity of her marginal role—even if it means waging war against the show’s domineering director.
Directed by Jesse Eisenberg, Michael Bloom, Jennifer Booth
