Count To Ten

Synopsis:
a tap-dancing writer's Broadway ambitions are thwarted because his new musical lacks a real love story. Forced to develop the show at a performing Arts camp full of spoiled, rich, and in some cases neglected stars of tomorrow, he finds he can no longer tap-dance around his issues and succumbs to the true call of his heart. COUNT TO TeN is a cross-generational, dance-filled, upbeat musical everyone can "tap" into!
