“Masterful! 90 minutes flies by.”
-Broadway World
“In a word… terrific.”
-Baltimore Post Examiner
“A touch of magic. Joseph W. Ritsch’s staging underlines Rebeck’s affectionable homage to the whole world of theatre. All three actors shine!”
-The Baltimore Sun
“Totally worth the trip! Begins as a seemingly simplistic comedy about the trials of being an under-paid and under-used actor, but as the play continues, comedy becomes a lesson in profound, stark truths.”
-MD Theatre Guide
“Impressive! Loads of laughs… hilariously embarrassing confrontations. The more miserable the three characters are on stage, the more delighted we are in the seats.”
-City Paper
“Real fun! Everyman does have an immense love for playmaking, and that love comes beaming across the footlights.”
-WYPR
“Spot-on and visually stunning! Everyman’s tagline is ‘Great Stories, Well Told,’ and that could not be more in evidence.”
-DC Metro Theatre Arts
"A masterpiece of comic clockwork" (Wall Street Journal) from the creator of TV's Smash, THE UNDERSTUDY places the backstage tension of a frantic rehearsal in the spotlight. Meet Harry, the "real" actor who's just a tad bitter about his lot in the theatrical world - you see, he's just the understudy. The grossly overpaid, action movie star he's working with doesn't understand the play. The charmingly lovesick stage manager happens to be his ex. And the backstage technician appears to be high - oh it's just another day in the glamorous life of being the one who didn't quite make the cut! Will they ever pull it together before showtime?
