Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Justin Kirk and Julie White Bring the Curtain Up on New Comedy The Understudy

Playwright Theresa Rebeck's newest off-Broadway offering, The Understudy , is pretty clear regarding what the show is about (um...an understudy).

We checked in with the trio of leading players at Roundabout Theatre Company's Laura Pels Theatre to get some starry details about the new production, its talented playwright and director and what it's been like to go onstage nightly as The Understudy' s lone players.
