Fact and fiction overlap in this theatrical panorama of Cleveland's heyday. Bernard Schrader discovers a life in the theater during the Cleveland Centennial, 1936, but decisions made then bring down a fledgling improv comedy troupe during the 1950s Red Scare.

Act One is presented as a Federal Theater Project "Living Newspaper" recounting the events of 1936. It is told in reverse chronology, following the career trajectory of Bernard, a college drop-out and would-be activist who discovers a life in the theater through luck and pluck.

Act Two is presented as a sketch improv comedy show. Spanning the years 1954-60, it follows the development and success of a small company of young comedians, mentored by Barney Silver. Events from the 1930s return to haunt these young performers, culminating in an appearance before the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
