SUMMARY:The Dorset Theater Festival Presents: THE UNDERSTUDY
DESCRIPTION:THE UNDERSTUDY \nJuly 10 – 19 (11 PERFORMANCES ONLY!) \nhttps://dorsettheatrefestival.org/the-understudy \n  \n\n\n\n\nA WICKEDLY FUNNY\, FAST-PACED COMEDY \nWritten & Directed By Theresa Rebeck \n\n\n\nABOUT THE PLAY\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBreak a leg… or someone else’s. \nDown-on-his-luck actor Harry finally catches a break: he’s cast as the understudy in a long-lost Kafka play playing to sold-out Broadway crowds. But when the show’s swaggering Hollywood star\, Jake\, sweeps into rehearsal\, the stage becomes a battlefield of ego\, ambition\, and insecurity of truly Kafkaesque proportions. \nCaught in the crossfire is the razor-sharp stage manager—with a complicated history with both men—desperately trying to keep the production (and her sanity) from imploding before opening night. \nTheresa Rebeck’s THE UNDERSTUDY is a wickedly funny\, fast-paced backstage comedy about ambition\, jealousy\, second chances\, and the fragile line between art and ego. Smart\, biting\, and unexpectedly moving\, it’s a love letter to the theater—and a no-holds-barred look at what happens when the spotlight isn’t big enough for everyone. \nSchedule: \nFRIDAY\, JULY 10th – 7:30 PM (PREVIEW) \nSATURDAY\, JULY 11th – 7:30 PM (OPENING NIGHT) \nSUNDAY\, JULY 12th – 2:00 PM \n\n\nWEDNESDAY\, JULY 15 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, JULY 15 – 7:30 PM \nTHURSDAY\, JULY 16 – 7:30 PM \nFRIDAY\, JULY 17 – 2:00 PM \nFRIDAY\, JULY 17 – 7:30 PM \nSATURDAY\, JULY 18 – 2:00 PM \nSATURDAY\, JULY 18 – 7:30 PM \nSUNDAY\, JULY 19 – 2:00 PM (CLOSING)

SUMMARY:The Dorset Theater Festival Presents: THE UNDERSTUDY
DESCRIPTION:THE UNDERSTUDY \nJuly 10 – 19 (11 PERFORMANCES ONLY!) \nhttps://dorsettheatrefestival.org/the-understudy \n  \n\n\n\n\nA WICKEDLY FUNNY\, FAST-PACED COMEDY \nWritten & Directed By Theresa Rebeck \n\n\n\nABOUT THE PLAY\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBreak a leg… or someone else’s. \nDown-on-his-luck actor Harry finally catches a break: he’s cast as the understudy in a long-lost Kafka play playing to sold-out Broadway crowds. But when the show’s swaggering Hollywood star\, Jake\, sweeps into rehearsal\, the stage becomes a battlefield of ego\, ambition\, and insecurity of truly Kafkaesque proportions. \nCaught in the crossfire is the razor-sharp stage manager—with a complicated history with both men—desperately trying to keep the production (and her sanity) from imploding before opening night. \nTheresa Rebeck’s THE UNDERSTUDY is a wickedly funny\, fast-paced backstage comedy about ambition\, jealousy\, second chances\, and the fragile line between art and ego. Smart\, biting\, and unexpectedly moving\, it’s a love letter to the theater—and a no-holds-barred look at what happens when the spotlight isn’t big enough for everyone. \nSchedule: \nFRIDAY\, JULY 10th – 7:30 PM (PREVIEW) \nSATURDAY\, JULY 11th – 7:30 PM (OPENING NIGHT) \nSUNDAY\, JULY 12th – 2:00 PM \n\n\nWEDNESDAY\, JULY 15 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, JULY 15 – 7:30 PM \nTHURSDAY\, JULY 16 – 7:30 PM \nFRIDAY\, JULY 17 – 2:00 PM \nFRIDAY\, JULY 17 – 7:30 PM \nSATURDAY\, JULY 18 – 2:00 PM \nSATURDAY\, JULY 18 – 7:30 PM \nSUNDAY\, JULY 19 – 2:00 PM (CLOSING)
