“Aspiring writer Sam (Peretti) 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,” reads the synopsis. “Sam dives into the opportunity, and hilarity ensues as she struggles to wrangle the eclectic cast. Barely making it through each rehearsal, Sam vents to her eccentric therapist, Meg (Poehler) 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?”
