Description: In 1940, Vivian Morris has just been kicked out of Vassar College. Her parents send her to Manhattan to live with her Aunt Peg, who owns a midtown theater. There Vivian is introduced to a cosmos of unconventional and charismatic characters, from the fun-chasing showgirls to a sexy male actor, a grand-dame actress and no-nonsense stage manager. But when she makes a personal mistake that results in professional scandal, it turns her new world upside down. Ultimately, though, it leads her to a new understanding of the kind of life she craves - and the kind of freedom it takes to pursue it.
