“The Understudy” is set in a Broadway theater where Roxanne is the stage manager.

Charged with running the understudy rehearsal for the production, she finds her professional and personal life colliding when Harry, a journeyman actor and her ex-fiancé, is cast as the understudy to Jake, a mid-tier action star yearning for legitimacy.

The comedy is a humanistic look at people trying to do what they love in the face of obstacles.
