Meet fledgling playwright Jerry Przpezniak and his betrothed Arlene Wyniarski, a couple of Buffalo greenhorns who are suddenly swept up in the whirlwind of New York's theatre scene when Jerry's autobiographical play is optioned for Broadway. It's a young playwright's dream, but the characters and dilemmas they encounter in New York are the things nightmares are made of. In no time at all, Curt Logan (a 1980s television star who still dresses the part) has commandeered the production—and the author’s fiancé. On top of that, the actress hired to play Jerry’s sainted mother turns out to be Curt’s bawdy television wife. Add a stuck-up director and a distressed stage manager, and you have the ingredients for a hysterical comedy of epic proportions.
