Actress Danny Teller, a high school science teacher, shows up at auditions for Macbeth trying to get his girlfriend back. But the director mistakes Danny's story of love for a passionate acting monologue, and casts him as Witch #1. More comfortable with spacecraft than stagecraft, Danny struggles with rehearsals, and incurs the wrath of the cast when he breaks the cardinal rule of acting by saying "Macbeth" in the theatre. That's when things get weird. Lights fall, fruit floats, and freaky ghosts start singing show tunes. Danny teams up with a new-age actress, a tough Italian self-help guru, and a sci-fi obsessed stage manager to save the actors and his ex-girlfriend from the curse of Macbeth. Written by Anonymous

Actress CIRCUIT RIDERS is a wicked spoof of the controversial pay-to-audition acting workshops. In what Daily Variety called "one of Hollywood's best kept dirty little secrets," struggling actors continue to pay thousands of dollars per year to be seen by film and television casting directors, all in the hope of landing that one-line "he-went-that-a-way! role on television. CIRCUIT RIDERS spares no one, taking a poke at actors and casting directors alike. We follow Lori Horhind, assistant casting director for a hot new television series "Malibu Surfer Cops." Lori gives an "educational" workshop to some grizzled character actors, along with a few first-time actors just off the bus. Lori, a failed actress herself, but now on a power trip, learns a bitter truth as she rides the casting director "circuit." CIRCUIT RIDERS is a comedy that makes a point. Written by Rob McCarthy
