First Time Female Director
Aspiring writer Sam is thrust into the role of director when the Regis Theatre’s director is fired
Hand-picked by the theatre’s artistic director, Sheldon, Sam is asked to direct the Regis’ upcoming Southern-inspired play, ‘Rain’s Comin’ In.’ Sam dives into the opportunity, and hilarity ensues as she struggles to wrangle the eclectic cast—including classic theater kid Rudy; over-trained amateur Clara; vain, tech-addict Davina; theater vet Marjory; acting savant Simon; and Corden, whose minor acting credits give him high status in the company. Barely making it through each rehearsal, Sam vents to her eccentric therapist, Meg and even turns to the Regis’ arrogant-but-dorky usher, Robbie, for drunken comfort. As Sam struggles to understand why she can’t seem to nail her production, she tries different tactics to make her play a success. Will she finally hit it big? Or will being a first-time female director lead her to try a totally different career?
