This year the Washington Highschool theatre program has introduced understudies as a new aspect to their productions. There are many benefits of having understudies for a show including having backup for a role, introducing students to the theatre program and getting more students involved in the arts. As these understudies work on learning lines, they also get to experience what it might be like as a cast member in a show. The one act these understudies are preparing for is called “The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon” and the shows will be performed on Oct. 29 and Oct 30.
