James Franco Is Making a Musical With College Kids

Casting begins Sunday for Yale University’s April showcase of James Franco Presents, where the actor will work with the Yale Drama Coalition to put together “the story of a girl dealing with the realities of love and life once she realizes she can’t hide behind the wonderful fantasies of fiction. A comedic drama, this musical incorporates film and live musical theater to tell the story of a cast struggling to write and produce a musical that is grounded in high school realities but with a sci-fi twist. Sex, blood, and surrealism to be expected.” Well Mr. Franco did say he might be gay. [Yale Drama Coalition via IvyGate]
