''The Understudy'' E&H Theatre Department

News

Saturday, February 23, 7:30pm

In an attempt to prove he’s a legitimate stage actor, a mediocre Hollywood action film hero decides to star in the Broadway premiere of a newly discovered masterpiece by Franz Kafka. His understudy turns out to be an out-of-work actor using a fake name and the ex-fiance of the stage manager who is trying desperately to keep rehearsals from careening out of control. The new comedy is a hilarious look at the backstage world of show business, relationships and life. The play was written by Theresa Rebeck and directed by Visiting Professor of Acting, Susan Wilder, with technical and design direction by Daniel Wheeler, chair of the theatre department.

The event is free for E&H students and employees, but a ticket is required. Contact the office of the arts coordinator, 276-944-6846, for ticket/reservation information.
