Introduce Yourself : Celebrations by Jay Gordon

CELEBRATIONS A comedy Series.

Setting

Celebrations is a self contained catering hall that caters all sorts of

celebrations; weddings, bar mitzvahs, birthdays, anniversaries, retirement,

New Years, wakes, divorce could make for some interesting dramas) etc.,

anything for which a catered party is appropriate. Much of the action

takes place ni the offices of the catering hall and of curse revolves around

the particular celebration.

Characters

Continuing characters are those affiliated with the caterer; owner, manager,

party planner, band, comic, kitchen help, etc. Additional characters are

introduced as each celebration warrants.

Multiple Story Lines

The lives, loves, comedy, drama of the catering people are dramatized and

interwoven with the characters brought in for each celebration.

Multiple Episodes

Several episodes (in effect a series within a series) all leading up to a particular

celebration (which can be an elaborately produced party). People love

parties and the comedy and drama associated therewith.

(Deer Hunter. Goodbye Columbus, etc.).

Example of Episodes

A divorce party, sort of a reverse wedding. In another two standup comics

are wed and at the wedding they toast/roast each other as well as the guests.

Location

Much of the action will take place in the catering offices as well as the hall

itself. Set design should be simpli ed accordingly.

Performers

Because of the multiplicity of character's continually brought in, new faces

would generate continuing interest.

Collateral ideas

The complications involving food, clothes, music, decorating, seating

arrangements etc. etc.. can contribute to the comedy, etc., also the trials

end tribulations of the participants and their parties

The Angst of the Caterers

They put on great parties but their personal lives are messy

My name is Jay Gordon. I have enclosed an abstract of Celebrations, which is my attempt to put some meat on the bones of the basic idea which has unlimited permutations. I am open to modifications or changes as well as equally sharing credits as well as any income derived from this project. I do not live in LA but can come to the city if necessary. Since I am an older gent I might be unsuitable for an uninvited pitch to the right person or group hence I am contacting you to see if there might be interest. I am financially quite well to do, not a struggling writer and am capable of affording reasonable costs associated with this project. Please feel free to call, email or message me anytime. Thank you for your time.
