Bruno's (LEE CURRERI) fear of performing before an audience clashes with Coco's (ERICA GIMPEL) intense desire to audition their band for the Seventh Annual School of the Arts Benefit. Sidestepping his refusal to play, Coco auditions a tape of the group for the Acceptance Committee and wins a spot in the show. Confronted with this fait accompli, Bruno still refuses to play, but does agree to lend his equipment. On the night of the show, a power failure plunges the rented stage into darkness. Sensing his responsibility to his fellow students, Bruno abandons his fears and plays acoustic piano while the dancers execute a stunning number by candlelight. Confidence is instilled in him when applause greets him when the lights come back up.

The relationship between Coco (ERICA GIMPEL) and her dance instructor Lydia (DEBBIE ALLEN) turns into a cold war when they find themselves in direct competition for the lead in an off-Broadway musical. Despite their respective talents, they discover one of the age-old problems facing every performer when the plum role is handed to the producer's "niece." Rejection provides them both with a more realistic outlook and forms an even stronger student-teacher bond having shared adversity.
