BRIEF SYNOPSIS
IZZY INGRAM (24) is considered an uptight, prudish reporter, who has never had an orgasm. She’s engaged to HARRY JONES (25), the sports director at the TV station, but he has never seen her completely naked.
She’s up for a promotion, but her boss JACK CASEY, the Executive Producer, gives the job to PENELOPE PARSONS (26), an over the top sexy executive who flirts with Jack. Izzy feels dejected. Izzy is told that sex sells and she needs to find the sexual side of her personality.

Consider moving up the idea of her becoming a dancer. In fact, move up the idea of her becoming a dancer/stripper to the end of the first act. Then to add more conflict show how Izzy should manage her day job, her night job, and her relationship.
