An understudy assignment refers to the process of assigning a substitute performer to learn and be ready to step in for a principal role in case the original performer is unable to perform due to illness or another unforeseen circumstance. The understudy is typically required to attend rehearsals, study the role thoroughly, and be prepared to perform at short notice if needed.
