Caitlyn played the role of Clary in a London preview of the new musical City of Ember in October 2025.

The musical is by S. Dylan Zwickel and Step Pażernov and based on the novel by Jeanne DuPrau. The performance was directed by Sorcha Harris and shared at the Union Theatre in South London as part of “Musical Shorts” in October 2025.

Based on the beloved young adult novel by Jeanne DuPrau, The City of Ember tells the story of a city that is the only light in a world of darkness. For hundreds of years, a generator nestled in the tunnels deep below the city has kept the lights on and a labyrinth of storerooms has provided everything the citizens could need. But now, the generator is failing and the storerooms are running low, and everyone seems to be in denial about the city's imminent demise--everyone, that is, except for two teenagers, hot-headed Doon and dreamer Lina. But can they work together to find a solution and save their people before it’s too late? Part call to action and part cautionary tale, The City of Ember uses an idiosyncratic, mellotron-based chamber pop score to deliver a parable of greed, environmental disaster, good people doing nothing, and the bravery it takes to save a society on the brink of collapse.

She is grateful to have played this role in an early reading of the musical last year in Los Angeles, and cannot wait to see how the project grows and expands.
