It doesn't matter how old you are, what sex you are, what your sexual
orientation is, what color you are: every one of us has been fascinated
by celebrity.
GROUPIES starts with a pop concept—celebrity obsession—then
goes deep, offering surprising trips into the minds, passions, and sexuality
of four very different people. Celebrity is the key into each character's
psyche: the perfect entry point to understand his or her humanity, desires,
regrets, loves, loneliness.
And each character's story comes with a twist.
Why GROUPIES? Because we like our pop culture with depth. And we love
New York City. The stories contained in this massive city never cease
to amaze us. Even so, we admit to forgetting at times about the wealth
of human experience out there. As denizens of New York—as humans
anywhere—we so often get lost in our own lives, in the chaos of
life, in the anonymity of trying to get by.
Groupies cracks that anonymity open for an hour, marrying sharply imagined
characters with an overriding spirit of humanity, and surprise.
