Video: "First Time Female Director" - Official Trailer - The Roku Channel
Aspiring writer Sam (Chelsea Peretti) is thrust into the role of director when the Regis Theatre's director is fired.

[via press release from Roku]

FIRST TIME FEMALE DIRECTOR

Streaming exclusively on The Roku Channel on March 8, 2024

Watch the Official Trailer:

Written and Directed by Chelsea Peretti

Starring Chelsea Peretti, Benito Skinner, Kate Berlant, Megan Stalter, Megan Mullally, Jak Knight, Blake Anderson, Amy Poehler

Featuring Max Greenfield, Brad Hall, Tim Heidecker, Natasha Leggero, Amy Poehler, Andy Richter, Xosha Roquemore, plus plenty of surprise cameos for audiences.

Produced by FOX Entertainment's MarVista Entertainment and Paper Kite Productions. Angie Day, Ani Kevork, Hannah Pillemer, Tony Vassiliadis, and Fernando Szew produce for MarVista Entertainment. In addition to Chelsea Peretti, producers include Amy Poehler, Kate Arend and Jordan Grief for Paper Kite Productions, and Deanna Barillari.

Aspiring writer Sam (Chelsea 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 (Andy Richter), 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 (Benito Skinner); over-trained amateur Clara (Kate Berlant); vain, tech-addict Davina (Meg Stalter); theater vet Marjory (Megan Mullally); acting savant Simon (Jak Knight); and Corden (Blake Anderson), whose minor acting credits give him high status in the company. Barely making it through each rehearsal, Sam vents to her eccentric therapist, Meg (Amy Poehler) and even turns to the Regis' arrogant-but-dorky usher, Robbie (Max Greenfield), 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?
