At a Broadway theatre in 1957, rehearsals are underway for a new play. Behind the scenes, veteran Black actors are dispensing advice to their young cast-mate. For them, playing a role has become a way of life. At the same time, the white director expects raves for showing enlightenment even though his actions fall short. Meanwhile in the play-within-a-play, the Black sharecroppers look for the vote but find nothing but trouble.
