About this piece

When the star of the show is injured, the clueless understudy must step in and attempt to understand theater lingo.

Summary

The scene opens with two actors performing Mercutio's death scene from Romeo and Juliet for their school play. When the actor playing Mercutio is injured and has to leave the show, the eccentric director places Jordan, a clueless understudy, in the role instead. Comedy insues as the director tries to stage the scene, but is hindered by Jordan's complete misunderstanding of theater terms.
