A hilarious new screwball comedy about love, lies and lunacy during the Golden Age of Hollywood. . .

Written and Directed by Christopher Willard

Hollywood, 1934. Monument Pictures is struggling. After putting out one turkey after another, the studio is in debt to its actors, staff, and almost everyone else in Hollywood.

Juno Beriman, the studio chief, is being hounded by creditors - one of which happens to be Jack Dragna, head of the Los Angeles crime syndicate. The studio star, Eve Randolph, who has made a rather questionable and shaky career playing vamp characters, is being pressured by the Hays Code Committee to clean-up her act "or else."

Desperate to survive, Eve and Juno hatch a scheme to save themselves, the studio, and their new film, The Clara Barton Story. Eve will throw off her loose ways, get married in a ceremony to coincide with the film's premiere, and the studio will cash in on the publicity both may engender. Trouble is, the wedding's a sham, and the actor hired to play the groom has gone missing. Every other conceivable disaster piles up to prevent the film people from saving the day.

But this is Hollywood, where there's always a new trick up the other sleeve.

Set Design by Tina Anderson Lighting Design by Jacob Welch Costume Design by Julie Vance Property Design by Terry Green Stage Managed by Kylie Marchiori

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS IS A SNOWY, HIGH ALPINE ENVIRONMENT. DRESS WARMLY AND APPROPRIATELY WITH HIGH TRACTION SHOES.

We think the evening of Friday, January 27 is one of the best times to visit. Artists are preparing to stay up all night to do detail work and the atmosphere is celebratory. Why not spend a night or two and catch the whole weekend? You won't regret seeing the sculptures evolve and witnessing the awards given out.

January 24-28, 2012 Sculpting Week- Sculpting begins at 11:00 a.m.on Tuesday, January 24 with a shotgun start and sculpting ends on Saturday, January 28 at 10:00 a.m. The awards ceremony will be on Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 3:30 p.m.

January 29 - February 5, 2012 Viewing Week - (Please note that visitors are welcome at this free event anytime from January 24 to February 5- not just during viewing week.) During viewing week, the artists are done sculpting, but the sculptures are here for your viewing pleasure. Weather permitting the snow sculptures will stay up until the night of Sunday, February 5, 2012 and then they will disappear under the darkness of night- just as magically as they appeared! We say that viewing week is weather permitting because every once in a while we need to take down a sculpture that is about to fall due to warm weather. Over the past few years we have only taken down one or two sculptures due to weather so it is a pretty good bet that you will be able to see all or most of the sculptures (and without the crowds!).
