Director Matthew Anderson and co-producer Lydia Bolder have fashioned a series that is easy to watch (short, quirky episodes) and highlights local actors. If you enjoyed the behind-the-scenes machinations of Amazon's "Mozart in the Jungle," you have a rough idea of the show's palette: backstage hijinks, bad romances, eccentric heroes and villains and glimpses of the actual work that gets done in producing art. It's a fun, breezy look at the life of actors, directors and designers in a cheeky and satirical style. theaterpeoplewebseries.com
