Paul Ruditis Books Overview

The Four Dorothys

Every performance needs a little scandal and…
DRAMA! Spawned from Hollywood’s A list glitterati, nearly every student at the exclusive Orion Academy is a singer, dancer, model, or actor with the ego to match. So how do you fit so many budding stars into one school musical? Multi cast, of course. It’s a Wizard of Oz like no other: four Dorothys, two Scarecrows, two Glindas, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Every ‘star’ gets a moment in the spotlight. Meanwhile, Bryan Stark, narrator extraordinaire, needs to shed some light on a more scandalous plot. Dorothys are mysteriously dropping out of the show, one after the other. If Bryan doesn’t figure out why, there may be no one left to click her heels by opening night…
.

School’s out, but the drama never stops at the superposh Orion Academy. Hartley Blackstone the famous director, producer, choreographer, and genuine Broadway icon has chosen Orion to hold auditions for one lucky guy and girl to attend his summer theater program in New York City. Naturally, every wannabe It girl and boy at Orion is going mad, prepping to win Blackstone’s approval. With any luck, it could be Bryan and his BFF, Sam, stepping onto a Broadway stage. But Mr. Blackstone, known for his notoriously harsh critiques, is capable of crushing hearts and shattering dreams with a single word. Bryan will need more than his snarky wit and cute smile for this one. He’s got to bring it! Now if he could just figure out exactly what it is…

Show, Don’t Tell

Every performance
needs a little scandal and…

Drama!

Bryan, on the other hand, can do without all the ‘thees,’ ‘thous,’ and oh yes man tights. But he’d best take part in the festivities lest he lose his head…
with Sam doing the chopping.

As if that weren’t dramatic enough, someone has discovered Bryan’s not so closeted secret. And it might be time for Bryan to step of the role he’s been playing for years. It’s a Malibu drama geek stuck with a wannabe King Arthur’s dork…
er, court, and he’s got a major secret to tell. You don’t want to miss the show…
.

Enter Sam and Jason’s onstage chemistry that’s so hot, it’s working overtime offstage! Course, Sam’s real life beau, Eric isn’t so cool with that. And what about Bryan? With his sexual orientation public knowledge, he’s gaining some admiring attention from the most unexpected people. Can you blame them? With all these raging hormones, it’ll be a wonder if the play goes off at all. And the after party? Please that’ll be a show all in itself…
