SYNOPSIS

The thrilling life story of one of America’s most fascinating heroines. A curious reporter begins to uncover the story of Amelia’s mysterious disappearance, grabbing the audience’s attention in the first few moments asking the compelling question, “What happened, Amelia?” The script presents the story in a very theatrical way through headlines of newspaper stories, remembrances, flashbacks and introspective monologues by Amelia as she flies across the Atlantic. American history serves as an educational backdrop, presenting the music, styles and politics of the 1930s and ’40s.
