“Mann
To Mann” is the story of the Mann sisters, blustery Veronica
(Tori Hammond), who insists on being called “Ronnie”,
and beleaguered Victoria (Lorraine Ansell), who insists on being
called “Victoria.” When their father, Alfred “Bud”
Mann, lapses into a coma, his living will dictates that Victoria,
the eldest, run Hot Shots – the male strip club that is the
family cash cow.
Victoria, a scion of rectitude who works at a reputable law firm,
is appalled. Her sister Ronnie is incensed. The club should have
gone to her – an opinion she maintains despite a past that
includes alcoholism, bankruptcy, and, allegedly, arson.
Forced despite her best efforts to helm Hot Shots, Victoria soon
finds herself in over her head. Ronnie comes to the rescue and the
two are forged into a reluctant partnership.
Alternately helping and hindering are Jerry Riggins (Patrick McKenna),
the small time talent agent who provides the strippers... Ty Lennox
(Chris Clements from “Catwalk”), a high maintenance
feature who would rather dance in “Stomp” on Broadway...and
Billy Broadfoot (Yuk Yuks’ Don Kelly), a.k.a. Billy Two Jokes,
a native stand up who plays MC.
Watch the Mann sisters as they try to “take it all off”:
familial obligation, dysfunctional behavior, the cursed and comic
compromises of conducting business; struggles that pit Ronnie and
Victoria “Mann To Mann.”
