13-Year-Old Michael Ausiello Presents: Beverly Hills: a Pretend Soap Opera Performed by Real Actors
Back in the 80s, when Michael Ausiello was a closeted gay teen living in small-town New Jersey, he penned 517 episodes of a daytime soap opera, titled Beverly Hills. Miraculously, he saved every handwritten script. Now, four decades later, some of the biggest names in comedy will come together to perform a 60-minute reading of a self-contained story arc that found six of Beverly Hills' most popular characters travelling overseas for a life-or-death adventure. Although some of Teenage Michael's atrocious spelling has been cleaned up for this theatrical experience, the scenes will be performed exactly as they were written nearly 40 years ago. For better or worse.
