Sonny and Trixie

"Sonny and Trixie" is a six episode comedic TV series in all black and white. The project was shot completely in the State of Wisconsin - and almost all cast and crew are Wisconsinites. It was important for the creator to use this state as a backdrop because the story told on screen finds the leads having left their jobs and jewels in New York City to lead a small city life. The loss of a family member forces both to not only relocate, but begin to run a small and stuffy restaurant. Throughout these episodes, you will witness their ongoing antics and anxieties, as well as their short lived downfalls and drama. The audience is also exposed to the various eccentric and eclectic patrons and people in their lives. They survive on love and laughter, and the creator purposely attempts (in part) to parallel the comedy and characterizations created on I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners within the world set up for Sonny and Trixie. This is a program that both Ball and Gleason would appreciate.
