YOU ARE INVITED to an extravagant Hollywood Gala, sponsored by Director Eddie Cheeks, as he is in search of financial backers and supporting actors for his upcoming movie.  In return for funding, Eddie may grant you an audition that could lead to a role in his movie!  Guests are encouraged to "over-dress" in Hollywood Gala wear, as you are all B-list actors, desperate to attract the Director's attention tonight!
