Understudy Life - Part 1 - The Rehearsal Process

Do you have an understudy gig coming up? Have you understudied in the past and want to compare your experience to others? Do you just want to know how to be an understudy? Then this video series is for you. I take you behind the scenes of Village Theatre's 2019 production of "A Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" where I spent four months being an understudy for two separate roles. In part one of this four-part series, I show you the initial rehearsal process with the original cast and talk about what it's like for an understudy during the rehearsal process. I discuss my worries and fears and talk about understudy debacles like the recent "Rent Live" disaster. You will truly understand the understudy life and understudy lifestyle after watching this video.
