Sabrina Carpenter has joined the Alicia Keys dance comedy production Work It from STXfilms and Alloy Entertainment which is being directed and rewritten by Laura Terruso from an original script by Alison Peck.
Work It is a coming of age comedy which follows an awkward teenage girl (Carpenter) who after being rejected from her high school’s dance team, assembles a crew of bold and fearless misfits to compete against them in a natural dance championship.
Carpenter is currently starring in Short History of The Long Road, which recently premiered to rave reviews at the Tribeca Film Festival. Her additional credits include The Hate U Give and Tall Girl. Her new album Singular: Act 2will be released this summer. She is represented by Paradigm, Foundation Media Partners, Faculty, Shemarya and SGSBC, LLP.
Carpenter will star alongside Liza Koshy (LIZA ON DEMAND; FREAKISH) and Keiynan Lonsdale (Love, Simon).
Keys is producing alongside producers Elysa Koplovitz Dutton and Leslie Morgenstein from Alloy Entertainment.
STXinternational is handling international distribution and will directly distribute in the UK and Ireland. STXfilms’ Kate Vorhoff and Catherine Hagedorn are overseeing the production on behalf of the studio.
