Theatre People, or The Angel Next Door by Paul Slade Smith

​

A rollicking romantic comedy about a writer working with two struggling playwrights to adapt his unpublished novel about the love of his life into a Broadway hit. When he begins to suspect that the angel he has worshipped from afar may be less than angelic, only the power of theatre can save the play, the novel, and most importantly—the writer’s heart.
