Exclusive: Sean Hayes is wrapping up production on Lazy Susan, an indie comedy the Will & Grace stalwart stars in alongside Carrie Aizley, Margo Martindale, Jim Rash with Matthew Broderick and Allison Janney. Nick Peet directed a script that Hayes wrote with Darlene Hunt and Aizley.
In the comedy, Hayes portrays the title character, a frumpy, bumbling, unmotivated woman named Susan who, despite her best efforts, always manages to get herself in the most ridiculous, embarrassing situations imaginable.
The film’s produced by Dominion Pictures’ Carl Moellenberg, Hazy Mills Productions’ Todd Milliner and Stargazer Films’ Zach O’Brien and Shane O’Brien.
“We wanted to explore the indie comedy genre from a different perspective,” said Hayes. “This is, at times, a dark look inside a character’s lack of empathy and ability to extend herself when it doesn’t serve her own needs. We root for Susan to grow and become self-aware.
