It is our intention at to cast understudiesand/or swings and/or standbys (U/S/S) in each play and musical that is part of our Mainstage season. Our department is committed to providing U/S/S opportunities for student actors as a reflection of professional industry standard, as a tool for student artistic growth and experience, and as reinforcement should a performer miss a rehearsal or performance.
Individual audition and callback notices for each production will indicate how the show'’'s Director intends to cast these important performers, with specific details about expectations and responsibilities. Student actors will be invited to indicate whether they are willing to be considered as an understudy, swing and/or standby prior to the completion of Callbacks.
An understudy is a performer cast in the ensemble of a musical, or a smaller role in a play, who is responsible for covering a supporting or lead role.
A swing is an off-stage performer responsible for covering any number of ensemble tracks.
A standby is an off-stage performer whose sole responsibility is to cover the lead in a production.
