FRIENDS OF THE MUSEUM

Golden Voice Cassandra Campbell narrates this story told almost entirely in dialogue. It takes place at a major New York City museum and spans 24 hours, beginning at 5 a.m. on the day of an important fundraising gala. The various characters grapple with dramas both personal and professional. Campbell creates distinct voices for the vulnerable director, her overworked assistant, the troubled legal counselor, the head of security, the dramatic chef, the overwrought gala designer, the new curator of film who slowly self-destructs, and several other curators. The characters number over 40. The minutes tick by, the tumultuous event ends at 5 a.m. the next day, and the museum staff see their lives come crashing down around them.
