In "Young and Willing", Six broke actors turn their shared apartment into a co-ed crash course in chaos, dodging landladies, furious fathers, and a producer who doesn’t recognize his own play. With a meddling cousin “corpsing” mid-performance and cops crashing their rehearsals, this troupe must improvise their way out of a parental interrogation—or risk their Broadway dreams ending in a literal curtain call!
