* DamnedByFaintPraise: After the horrific first (and, as it turns out, last) performance of ''Theatre/RichardIII'', even Mark the director's ''own mother'' can only tell him that it was "very interesting" (which Mark misinterprets to mean that she loved it).

* DamnedByFaintPraise: After the horrific first (and, as it turns out, last) performance of ''Theatre/RichardIII'', even director Mark the director's Bodine's ''own mother'' can only tell him that it was "very interesting" (which Mark misinterprets to mean that she loved it).



* GiftedlyBad: Director Mark Bodine thinks his idea of portraying the title character in ''Theatre/RichardIII'' as an outrageously flamboyant CampGay stereotype is a stroke of genius, and nothing, including constant pushback from Elliot, will persuade him otherwise. After the first performance, during which a third of the audience members walk out in disgust, Mark's ''own mother'' is clearly trying to let him down gently by saying she thought it was "interesting", and he reacts as if a top critic has just given him a glowing review.



* StylisticSuck: Elliot's performance of ''Theatre/RichardIII', not because he's a bad actor, but because of the director's absurd premise of portraying Richard as a stereotypically effeminate CampGay.

Paula [=McFadden=] (Mason), a 33-year-old semi-retired dancer and divorcée with a ten-year-old daughter named Lucy (Creator/QuinnCummings), has to become un-retired when her married actor boyfriend Tony leaves town, breaking up with her via a "Dear John" note. Even worse is that their shared [[BigApplesauce New York City]] apartment was leased under Tony's name, and he has sub-let it to another actor, Elliot Garfield (Dreyfuss), who's arrived from Chicago to star in a play. Paula is horrified to have a stranger moving into her apartment--and another actor, at that--but Elliot has a lease and a key, so they grudgingly work out an arrangement in which they will share the apartment.
