The Next Big Star is a comedy in three acts that pokes fun at the reality TV talent competitions. It’s written as if it appears on live TV with a studio audience.
The three judges don’t always agree, and the host struggles to keep them in line, all the while trying to be professional on the local cable network.
The contestants are a mixture of the best and the worst amongst us. For those of you who may remember The Gong Show, some of these performances are similarly stopped before they even begin!
After the judges narrow down the contestants to the final five, the power is then turned over to the audience who gets to choose who will become The Next Big Star.
The Next Big Star ‘opened’ in Shubenacadie, to a sold out crowd. It was performed in Stewiacke under the title of Stewiacke’s Next Big Star, and sold out within an hour and a half! And soon it will be performed at a third venue in Maitland, under the title of Maitland’s Next Big Star.
It’s hard to get on Broadway, so for anyone who wrote a play and is struggling to get on the big stage, consider local theatre – you won’t regret it.
