There's no business-like show business — for Buddy and Macy Smart that means an unpredictable life working in regional theater while trying to raise their radically different sons, Lester & Derrick. Through it all, Buddy pursues his unstoppable dreams, and Macy is left to pull it all together and keep the family afloat. As the family grapples with identity and belonging, they share a humorous and heartfelt journey of self-discovery, learning the power of owning your spotlight, no matter what stage of life you're in.
