Information about Buyer & Cellar:
Buyer & Cellar is the outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things and the oddest of odd jobs. The New York Post praised the show as "fantastically funny" when it premiered off-Broadway in April 2013.
Desperate for work, struggling Los Angeles actor Alex More takes on a most unlikely and unenviable gig - running the basement mall in legendary star Barbra Streisand’s Malibu home. With Buyer & Cellar, hilarity ensues in this comedic tale of the implausible friendship between Alex and Hollywood’s legendary Funny Girl. Playwright Jonathan Tolins playfully scrutinizes the zany implications of Streisand’s underground shopping center in this uproarious and unprecedented one-man show.
Taking inspiration from Streisand’s coffee table book "My Passion for Design," Buyer & Cellar is half fact, half fiction. The fact is Streisand does indeed have a shopping mall in the basement of her Malibu home, complete with an immaculate curation of shops including an antique clothing store, a doll storeroom and a sweets shop. The fiction comes from when Buyer & Cellar balances absurdist whimsy and stark realizations as it details Alex’s work and the toll it takes on his patience, love life and his view of people.
Tolins is the author of Buyer & Cellar, which was named Best Unique Theatrical Experience by the Off-Broadway Alliance when it premiered at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater in 2013. Other plays by Tolins include The Twilight of the Golds, If Memory Serves, The Last Sunday in June and Secrets of the Trade. Tolins’ film work includes The Twilight of the Golds and Martian Child. For television, he has written for “Queer as Folk,” The Academy Awards, The Tony Awards and "Partners."
