Halle Bailey is heading back to the big screen alongside Julianne Moore in the upcoming A24 musical comedy-drama ‘The Debut.’

Written and directed by Jesse Eisenberg, the film has premiered a new trailer offering a hilariously chaotic look at the world of community theater.

And, as the preview makes clear, even the smallest roles can bring major drama.

Full story below…

‘The Debut’ centers on Mona Friedman (Moore), a shy New Jersey housewife who auditions for a local production of a fictional musical.

After securing a minor role, Mona becomes increasingly consumed by her newfound passion for performing.

However, her commitment to the craft soon spirals into an obsession, placing her at odds with the production’s demanding director Jerry, played by Paul Giamatti.

The ensemble cast also includes Bailey, Eisenberg, Bernadette Peters and Colton Ryan.

Beyond writing and directing the film, Eisenberg composed original songs for its fictional stage production, ‘Nosy Neighbors.’

The movie follows his acclaimed directorial effort ‘A Real Pain.’

For Bailey, the project adds to her growing film résumé, which includes ‘You, Me & Tuscany,’ which she discussed with That Grape Juice earlier this year.

‘The Debut’ arrives in US theaters on December 11.
