The cast and crew of Electric City Theatre try to stage a performance of Hamlet. Messina, the overblown director, focuses too much on impressing an emissary from the prestigious Northcomb theatre and forgets to post the cast list. When it is finally posted, Weldon, cast as Horatio, conspires with young Olive, who was cast as Ophelia’s understudy, to levy themselves to higher parts. Edisto, the assistant director, and Charlotte, the assistant stage manager, are in love but vow to wait until after the play to act on their desires. Weldon tells Olive to demand more for herself from Messina, hoping to piggyback onto her boldness, but she gets herself removed from acting, and instead assistants the mischievous set designers Walder and Stratdorf.
Orsonio, the method actor playing Hamlet, fakes his death (at an unknowing Olive’s hand) in an attempt to further his process, leading Weldon to be cast as Hamlet and Orsonio, in disguise, playing Horatio. Messina presents his work to Northcomb, who, after getting word from Weldon of Messina’s foolishness, has him fired. Walder and Stratdorf try to repair the relationship between Lorraine and her modern-minded sister, Valencia, and together the four learn of Weldon’s trickery and conspire to assault him and make him confess. In the climax, on opening night, everyone converges on Weldon, forcing him to reveal his deception and accept his punishment as Edisto and Charlotte unite, Lorraine and Valencia, make amends, Stratdorf and Walder profess their love, and Olive learns her worth as an actor.

The play opens on comedian June ‘Bug’ Barlowe finishing her set at a comedy night at the In Good Spirits Comedy Bar. Nasim Nassar, a Pakistani-american music critic, and her unemployed musician boyfriend Tyler Hansen discuss Nasim’s work ethic and make a bet that Tyler can work a full 8 hours a day for a week, and that Nasim can leave her work at work for a week, with the tee-totaling Nasim drinking if she loses and Tyler going to an Islamic Church Service if he loses.

Nita and Yvonne meet Tyler and Nasim (who lost the bet) and get entangled in their argument which Bug and Kevin soon join. Kevin, drunk and depressed, lashes out against everyone, insulting every person at the bar. Bug and Nasim exchange words when Nasim insults blind people, who Bug teaches. Finally, Tyler and Nasim break up and Tyler drives out in the storm drunk. Kevin tries to leave too, and only Nasim tries to stop him. They both exit and offstage Kevin runs her over.
