Overview
Tuxedo Terrace is a screwball comedy that deals with the very real issues of homophobia and immigration in the 1950's. At a dinner party in the Hollywood Hills, Lorenzo and Kitty (with the help of some Hollywood legends and a few unexpected guests) must convince an immigrations officer that their phony marriage is actually legitimate; or else Lorenzo could risk deportation.

You're Invited To A Story That Hasn't Been Told

Hollywood in the 1950's was a machine that produced some of the most memorable entertainment in History; yet most of the industry was leading a double life, trapped in the closet and unable to live freely. Although Tuxedo Terrace is a wacky comedy, it highlights a story that hasn't been told and reminds us of those who paved the way for today . 

Lorenzo is an Italian immigrant who's one of the biggest hair stylists at MGM, he also happens to be homosexual, as is his wife, Kitty and her live in girlfriend Lisette. 

When the INS begins investigating the validity of their marriage, Lorenzo & Kitty throw a dinner party to convince the inspector that their relationship is real so that Lorenzo can stay in the country. 

Thanks to some uninvited guests, the dinner party quickly turns disastrous as the trio find hiding their secret is harder than they imagined. To make matters worse, Lorenzo thinks he's falling in love with the INS inspector, who might be hiding a secret of his own. Hijinks ensue throughout the evening and make for a memorable visit to Tuxedo Terrace 

I wrote this story as an homage to the men and women who produced beautiful art for the world while hiding in the shadows. Inspired by the films they made, and influenced by their glamour and sophistication. My dream is to share this story with the world, so we can pay respect (and have a laugh while were at it)
