Assistants Title logo.gif

In Hollywood, even the Assistants need assistance.

Everyone is invited to a backstage tour of Hollywood where dreams are made, celebrities are born, and the assistants have more power than even they realize. When TV’s biggest showrunner announces a new career direction, it sends her assistant Tara—and the rest of Los Angeles—into a frenzy. Navigating the industry proves harder than expected for the Assistants as secret alliances are made, trust is manipulated, and emotions get in the way of business.



Written by Bryan Blaskie & Manny Hagopian • Directed by C Ryanne Domingues

Assistants is a one-act musical written for 4 actors (2M, 2F).
We only ever hear from the assistants. Their bosses are unseen.

The pop/contemporary score is orchestrated for 4 musicians – keys, guitar, bass, and percussion. It’s Edges meets Songs for a New World with a little Passing Strange.

The show features limited design elements, benefiting from black box inspired sets and minimal costumes. Props as simple as desks, chairs, and phones create the working environment of Hollywood.
