What happens

Stage Fright is a 1989 independent feature film produced and directed by Brad Mays and written by Stanley Keyes. It was director Mays' debut film, and it had its premiere screening at the 1989 Berlin International Film Festival under the auspices of the New York Foundation for the Arts. It is a fictionalized account of the trials and tribulations of a Baltimore-based experimental theatre company called Storefront Theatre, loosely fashioned after the now-defunct avant-garde theatre company Corner Theatre ETC.
