Department of Theatre Series | In a wacky, frisky parody of famous American films, Loretta Moran, an orphan, meets Jimmy the gangster, and their adventures keep on rolling from the dawn of the silent film era, through glitzy musicals, to the unbridled patriotism of World War II movies, to the magical Golden Era, and on to schlocky Hollywood blockbusters. Just as the movies do, the characters eventually transition to new aspirations, shortened attention spans, and more, more, more action. Silly original songs and wickedly witty juxtapositions of genres and plot points lead to an unconventional (by Hollywood standards) movie ending.
