San Diego prepares for its upcoming staging of Ron Hutchinson’s behind-the-scenes of “Gone With The Wind” drama Moonlight and Magnolias starring Dan Castellaneta, voice of Homer Simpson. The show will perform in the Old Globe Theatre July 16-August 14. Castellaneta and director John Rando also collaborated in the same actor-director dynamic for last year’s staging of Steve Martin’s The Underpants. The new Hutchinson play recently played its New York debut at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Off-Broadway space. Moonlight and Magnolias finds its setting in 1939 Hollywood as big-time movie producer David O. Selznick (Castellaneta) shuts down production on the epic movie “Gone With the Wind” and locks himself, screenwriter Ben Hecht and director Victor Fleming in his office to rewrite the script.
