"The Method" (Plot Synop)

"A community theater is quickly losing directors for their early fall production of The Importance of Being Earnest. The heroes/villains of my screenplay are the actors, who have posed the question 'What if we got rid of the director?' or, as the Diva puts it: 'What does a director DO anyway?' There are the typical theatre stereotypes: The Diva, The Ingenue and The Under-Miner (yes, we all have one), plus a Jack with an attention disorder and an Algernon with sticky fingers, not to mention a foreigner who pretends he can barely speak English and a grumpy veteran actress. All of them are determined to use their strengths and weaknesses to get the production to themselves. Can the new president of the theater board figure out what's going on before the curtain goes up?"

Okay, I've made a few changes, but you can see that in my first outline XD
