SHOW STOPPER: The Theatrical Life of Garth Drabinsky

A self-made mogul who grew to rival (at least briefly) the mightiest U.S. entertainment power brokers, Garth Drabinsky brought two businesses - cinema chain Cineplex Odeon and theatrical presenter/production concern Livent - to considerable heights of market domination. But his excessive ambitions, overspending and willingness to fudge the numbers led each to a spectacular fall, and the man himself to an ongoing prison sentence for defrauding investors.

SHOW STOPPER provides a colorful chronicle of a personality some regard with love, others with loathing, but who's inspired a certain awe from all for his sheer chutzpah.

The Milton Film Festival is pleased to welcome director Barry Avrich, who will be available for a Q&A session after the film.
