Plot Synopsis:

Recently canceled series-TV star Andrew Rally has been given an actor's dream role--to play the part of Hamlet in the park. But watch this dream turn into a hilarious nightmare as he fights his fears, literally and figuratively, with the Ghost of John Barrymore, to take on the greatest acting role of his career. Add to that a long line of wacky characters in his life -a dreamy, virginal girlfriend, a psychic real estate broker, his agent who had a fling with the live Barrymore, a deal making super cool LA friend and, of course, John Barrymore's spirit- who all use their influences over Andrew to "help" him make his decision. Will a ghost from the past override the wacky personalities of the present? See who wins this madcap tug of war for the greatest role only a handful of actors have ever mastered.
