Every night on Broadway dozens of the best performers aren't on stage. They are backstage, standing by, ready to go on at a moment's notice. The unique and challenging lives of Broadway's understudies and standbys are revealed in this evocative and original behind-the-scenes documentary. The Standbys is for everyone who loves show business, and those who aspire to make their mark in it.
DigiNext's innovative Pay it Forward program allows generous patrons to make screening seats available to viewers in need or those who should not miss this film. The Standbys is a particularly motivating and uplifting story of people who persevere against the odds. This film can help inspire. We have had requests from public schools, unemployed actors, and dramatic arts schools, to make tickets available. By participating in the Pay it Forward program you can give them a chance to see The Standbys. Thank you.
