On February 29, 1940, the Oscars are set to make history in Hollywood, but the night takes an unexpected turn when Bartender Arthur Brooks, and his best friend Dottie Hudson, find themselves at a crossroads. As Academy Award Nominee Hattie McDaniel unexpectedly opts out of the night’s grand event, Arthur and Dottie are thrust into a frantic mission to convince her to attend and seize her historic victory. This gripping play delves into themes of race, class, gender, and the shifting dynamics of Hollywood’s golden age.
