Description
Some roles are small. Friendship never is.
Two days before the school play, Nora Bennett is stuck playing Tree Number Three, without a single line. With her sister’s legendary performance still fresh in everyone’s memory, Nora wishes she could be chosen for something bigger.
But when her best friend Hugo struggles with the pressure of his starring role, Nora discovers she may have a bigger part to play than she thought.
Welcome to Before the Show, an animated family comedy set in Brooklyn, where one ordinary day unfolds through five different points of view. This first episode follows Nora.
