Everybody's chasing something. Everybody ends up at the bar.
The Show
Local Producers Presents follows a crew of aspiring actors, comedians, musicians and entertainers chasing their dreams in New York City.
Between auditions at The Producers' Club, day jobs and creative struggles, they always end up at Local 42, a real Hell's Kitchen dive bar, to celebrate wins, complain about setbacks and try to build a life in NYC.
Some make it big. Some never do. But everyone has a story worth telling.
