I believe the answer is:

dot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'morse character' is the definition.
'dot' can be an answer for 'character' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'morse' bit.

'overdo theatrics entertaining' is the wordplay.
'entertaining' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'DOT' can be found hidden inside 'overdo theatrics'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dot that I've seen before include "Long-ago year?" , "Cotton, say" , "scatter" , "Full stop, point" , "Small round spot" .)
