me and orson welles (M33)

a high school senior goes to manhattan and comes upon orson welles and his troupe in front of the mercury. orson- can't someone give me a drum roll. kid- here's your drum roll. orson- can you sing. kid sings a commercial and he is hired. he falls in love with the secretary claire danes. she takes him to orson's apartment and she beds him. the next night orson beds her and this pisses the kid off, so when they emerge from orson's apartment, he insults orson and orson fires him. orson hires him back for opening night, but after the show, the kid is informed that he is in fact fired. the kid had met a writer at a music store and she showed him something she wrote and he gave it to claire danes to submit it to the new yorker and the new yorker agrees to publish it and with the kid and the writer exiting a museum their whole lives in front of them, the movie ends. some short parts in class and with the kid's mom. the kid uses matches to search the ceilings for people's names written there and starts a sprinkler shower. orson acts imperious. the crowd loves the play. the kid wins the bet for bedding claire (a bet with norman lloyd and joseph cotten).
