Leon Sigel

The 1960's counter culture limped into the 1970s dragging with it a legacy of social confusion, dependency on drugs and promiscuity. In STAGE FRIGHT, shot in Baltimore, the era is satirized in a story of a store-front theatre and its company of diverse, rootless characters.

Two elderly men, a black man and a Jew, both widowers, try to bond with one another despite their very different backgrounds and customs.
