Get ready to follow two fiercely passionate theatre kids as they stumble, sprint, and full-volume belt their way through the wonderfully chaotic world of performing arts. In this fully improvised long-form show, we watch their dramatic destinies unfold—from awkward theatre camp mishaps to being cast in scenes wildly above their emotional and physical development (yes, even the tragic love scenes).
Expect spontaneous musical-theatre-style numbers, over-the-top serious monologues, backstage meltdowns, and heartfelt “actor moments” as they discover who they are on—and off—the stage.
A show for anyone who ever loved theatre a little too much, The Understudies is a hilarious, heartfelt love letter to every kid who lived in the wings before they lived in the world.
