An Untitled New Play By Justin Timberlake

All Beth wants to do is make the most of her job as the literary manager of a celebrated not-for-profit theatre in New York City. She gets to live out her dream of bringing the stories she loves to a wide audience—well, kind of. Will Beth convince her famed artistic director Todd-Michael Smyth that the play she’s discovered will be their greatest hit? Can she convince the up-and-coming playwright to let her shepherd the project? Or will Justin Timberlake ruin all of Beth’s plans? Art meets commerce meets celebrity.

Production Materials

Included in your license are the following cast and crew scripts. These materials will be shipped upon receipt of payment if your license request is approved.

4 Cast Script/Vocal Books

A combination of the show’s full script and the full vocal book. All dialogue within each song is printed in the score to prevent flipping back and forth during rehearsals. All books are spiral-bound and double-sided.

2 Director’s Scripts

A single-sided, spiral-bound script designed with plenty of space for the director to take notes and add blocking during the rehearsal process.

1 Stage Manager’s Script

A single-sided, three-hole punched script that can be inserted into your three-ring binder.

2 Piano/Conductor Scores

A keyboard score that is a key part of the show’s actual orchestration. This score contains both vocal parts and a cue staff, which guides the conductor through the full orchestration by informing them when instruments enter the song, as well as providing specific part lines when necessary.
