"Because We're Thespians" is a dramatic comedy series, revolving around the lives of two high-school-age friends, Charlotte Rose Singer and Simon Carter, who both desire to excel in their professions as thespians. Charlotte Rose Singer's modest background as a bakery-worker during after-school hours is the complete opposite of Simon Carter's lavish lifestyle that includes his own driver and a live-in maid. Despite their different upbringing, the duo becomes the best of friends and Simon eventually helps Charlotte become more confident in her acting and singing abilities as she evolves from her shell. Together the pair end up taking on challenges that include trying to convince Simon's musical-producer parents that he and Charlotte are talented enough to be a part of their hit Broadway production.
