On the episode she discusses "Broadway Acts for Women," taking place Sunday, May 3rd at 54 Below. The event, benefiting A is For, an organization co-founded by Plimpton in 2012, will feature Patti LuPone, Lena Hall, and Jessie Tyler Ferguson among other Broadway A-Listers.

Plimpton also discusses her parents (Shelly Plimpton and Keith Carradine), and how they meet as original cast members of the groundbreaking 1969 musical HAIR. She discusses her work as a member of Chicago's famed Steppenwolf Theater Company and her Tony nominated-performances in THE COAST OF UTOPIA and PAL JOEY.
