17 year old Chicago talent Samantha Earnest auditioned for and was booked for the theatre production, "City of Angels".
The musical weaves together two plots, the "real" world of a writer trying to turn his book into a screenplay, and the "reel" world of the fictional film. The setting is Hollywood, late 1940s, with two stories occurring simultaneously, a musical comedy and a Detective story. The real-life scenes are in color and the movie scenes in black and white.
Costumes and setting reflect the reality vs. film. Tony Award Winner for Best Musical. Samantha will play two roles in the play, Bootsie and Hairdresser. The show is set to run April 30th through May 2nd at Drama Group. Congrats to Samantha, go check her out in the play!
