ACT ONE (NOT SEEN)
Our protagonists, Juanita (Tyson) and Bert Goodluck are taking their final bows of their hit Broadway play, Ossie and Ruby, on October 2, 2023, which has been on Broadway at The August Wilson Theatre in New York since April 27, 2023.
Juanita has become the Toast of Broadway with her outstanding performance as legendary stage and TV actress Ruby Dee while her husband, Bert played Ossie Davis, Ruby's husband. Bert was one of the producers of the play along with renowned theatre producer Harry Gardner who bought the rights to the veteran acting couple's joint autobiography, In This Life Together (2000) and worked with Bert on other theatre projects in his 20 plus year career. Juanita, who is a veteran movie actress, came to the project under Bert's influence, as a greenhorn.
Tension between The Goodlucks came about when Juanita was receiving the rave reviews for the play in such publications such as Variety and Playbill. Meanwhile, Bert, for the first time in his theatre career, had to play second fiddle to his wife.
Also, backstage, heated arguments ensued between them before and after the shows mainly about how he felt she tried to upstage him each show to the point where their publicist, Lynne Goodluck, Juanita's niece, had to be backstage with them to calm the peace so no rumors of conflict or tension would leak to Page Six of the New York Post.
Act One ends six months later in April 2024 when Juanita is at her lavish Chelsea apartment in New York with Lynne and its Thespy Award Nominations Day (The Thespy being a prestigious award in theatre).
During this time, she gets a call from her agent about a two multi-million dollar picture deal with her film company in Los Angeles-a first for her career, Lynne reports to her that the critics predict she may not get one of five slots for Best Actress in a Play at the Thespy Awards, and Juanita makes the tough decision to turn down Bert's offer to tour with Ossie and Ruby.
