Hollywood, 1954. Black comedienne Doris Jean is performing at an after-hours club and catches the eye of producer Samuel Stahr. His TV show featuring a former radio star is floundering; Doris Jean may be just what The Eva Rose Show needs. Doris refuses to play a maid but is cast as one anyway. The two women connect and make a delightful comedy duo until they are each invited to audition for the lead in a blockbuster film. Talent may not be enough to make it in old black & white Hollywood.
Scenic design is by Lemon Baardsen and Ravyne Payne, lighting design is by Tor Brown, costume design is by Danielle Ozymandias and Julieta Gerlein, sound design is by Matthew Scheel, properties manager is Natasha Renae Potts, and intimacy coordinator is Rachel Zapata. Assistant director is Barbera Ann Howard and stage managers are Ritzi Lanier and Lemon Baardsen. Associate producers are Matt Lorenzo and Cassandra Carmona.
