The Misfit Players — A Backstage Romantic Comedy

Everyone deserves a second chance... When Tessa is called to a broken-down auditorium to produce a play, she’s all too aware the crew is unified by one common quality – they’re all banned from at least one community theatre, including her.​ Taking a chance, Tessa joins Jack, the laid-back director, to keep the Misfits on track despite arguments galore, slightly shady techies, competing divas and pesky vermin. But when a mishap endangers both the show and the Misfits, can Tessa overcome and embrace her fresh start or will they all be left broken hearted?
