A mother of three daughters (one died at the age of three) commits a crime of conscience and becomes radicalized in prison; she turns into an idealist run amok, determined to change her little corner of the world for the better. Her middle daughter, with a physician for a father, an older sister who joins Doctors Without Borders, and a baby sister who dies, is fanatically trying to find a place for herself in this family of overachievers.

Myrtle Gordon, actriz de Broadway, ensaya su último obra sobre una mujer incapaz de admitir que envejece. Cuando es testigo de la trágica muerte de una de sus fieles seguidoras, comienza a enfrentarse al torbellino en la que su propia vida personal y profesional se ha adentrado. "Opening Night", con escenas rodadas con la presencia de público que reaccionan con libertad a las actuaciones que ven sobre el escenario, expone el drama de una actriz que, con gran desgaste personal consigue hacer suyos los papeles que interpreta.
