Summary "Peggy on the Road" by Virginia Hughes is a novel written in the early 1960s. The story revolves around the aspirations and struggles of Peggy Lane, a determined young actress living in New York City, as she navigates her way through the challenges of the theatrical world. Through her experiences, the book likely explores themes of ambition, friendship, and the harsh realities of pursuing a career in the performing arts. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Peggy as she unwinds after a long day, articulating her dreams and frustrations in a rooming house for actresses. Her camaraderie with her roommate, Amy Shelby Preston, sets the tone of their shared journey in the performing arts. The opening chapter vividly portrays Peggy's excitement and trepidation regarding an audition for the understudy role in the acclaimed play "Innocent Laughter". Through light-hearted banter and supportive dialogue with her friends, Peggy's passion for acting shines, even as doubts creep in about her talent and ability to succeed in such a competitive field. The scene is set for Peggy's emotional roller-coaster as she hopes for a life-changing opportunity while juggling the pressures of auditioning in the unforgiving world of New York theater.
