Amelia Earhart Was a Lesbian is a 90-minute, real-time two-hander about authorship, obsession, repression, and the impossible act of choosing an ending.

​

The play follows Sam and Chris, ex–best friends and former writing partners, face to face for the first time in three years. Sam is hours away from a career-altering studio meeting about her Amelia Earhart biopic when Chris shows up uninvited with a bombshell: the studio plans to fire Sam from her own film and hand it to Chris.

​

But instead of taking the gig, Chris proposes something reckless and “selfless”: rewrite the script together, right now, before the meeting… and save Sam’s authorship.

​

The script in question? A homoerotic reimagining of Amelia Earhart and Eleanor Roosevelt’s friendship that's hitting far too close to home.

​

What follows is a chaotic, intimate unravelling of ambition, power, memory, queer erasure, and years of unresolved tension that can no longer hide between the lines.
