StarDUST (Adventures in Consciousness)
Workshop Production Directed by Dan Bonnell
Synopsis: In StarDUST (Adventures in Consciousness) Doug Motel re-creates some of the funny, touching and inspiring adventures in his unusual life. From teen years living in Times Square working as a standup comic, to his time spent in Hollywood as A film and television actor, Doug has seen a lot and learned a lot of hard lessons.
His eyewitness accounts of America’s miracles and tragedies, including the LA riots, earthquakes and finding himself in lower Manhattan on the terrifying morning of September 11th 2001 weave a highly entertaining tale of awe, sadness and ultimately hope for the future of humanity against the backdrop of Doug’s own desperate grab for 15 minutes of fame.
