Hollywood Minstrel Show chronicles a wacky former studio executive now homeless living on the streets of Los Angeles.
The story was inspired by McFall’s personal history and firsthand stories told to him by people who are and were homeless–many were America’s servicemen and women who offered their lives and talents to protect our country.
“Attention and aid for the disproportionate numbers of homeless in Hollywood is long overdue,” said McFall, who portrays the main character and is using his art to raise consciousness about this chronic problem.
The play is the Fourth in McFall’s “Driftnet Urban Opera” series tackling urban themes and was initially staged during a workshop at the 2003 EdgeFest in Los Angeles. His current play includes hard-hitting, political and socially relevant work which focuses on the plight of the homeless in Los Angeles.
According to a study by the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, it is estimated there are more than 48,000 homeless people in the City of Los Angeles and over 82,000 homeless in Los Angeles County each night according to the Institute for the Study of Homelessness and Poverty.
