Gifted actor/performer/impersonator Tommy Femia stars in the new comedy romp Norma Doesmen opening Mar. 8 at the Abingdon Theatre. Set in a run-down chateau on Sunset Boulevard, Norma Doesmen follows the story of an unemployed script-writer, Joe Dillis, who finds himself on the run from the re-po men and dives into the lap of a reclusive, silent-screen movie star Norma Doesmen who sits waiting for her return to filmdom. Norma finds her prey in Dillis, who is manipulated and seduced by this insane, over sexed, psychotically disordered fallen legend. Along with her totally schizophrenic servant Max and Joe’s devoted narcoleptic girlfriend, Betty ShaveHer, the comedy ensues as Joe falls deeper into Norma’s plan to make her comeback to the big screen.
