Margaret moved to New York with big dreams and a deadline: a Tony award by her 30th birthday. With a little support from her parents, a morning shift at a dance studio, and a red-eye working at her local bar, she scrapped together enough to rent a studio in Brooklyn that fits a twin bed and a microwave.

Painfully undeterred by every rejection she receives, she focuses her energy on cultivating a community of artists in her neighborhood. She puts people together, actors with directors, models with photographers, musicians with therapists, and finds her nightly crowd at the bar growing by the day. But 30 is coming fast, and she wonders if those dreams with a deadline are going to turn into fantasies.

A long-shot submission to the city’s best play competition turns into a lucky break when the chairman of the board selects her one-woman show as their final finalist, and she’ll finally get to see if she’s really good enough to make her dreams come true, or if it’s time to move to greener pastures.
