The Understudies

Understudies Danny Jacobs and Seth Brown are called upon to fill the roles of no-shows Chad Krause and Basil Shaw III the night of the big show. The problem is, the understudies don’t know which play they are supposed to perform so they cleverly seek advice from the audience.

The Understudies theatrical style of improv creates a full three-act play on the spot from a single audience suggestion. With influences ranging from Tennessee Williams to Neil Simon to Arthur Miller the genre of the production can be as varied as the stars in the sky. It’s two actors, in three acts, with no limits.
