UNDERSTUDIES by Priya Sridhar

The Stardust Sisters have always made their parody shows work. So what if they lost their third member to Hollywood? Does it even matter that they don’t have a new theater facility? Grad school should fix that, twin sisters Stella and Evangeline calculate, and they’ll get the funding, as well as a decent apartment in the city.

As if by miracle, an apartment with no rent opens up— in the Haunted Basilio
Theater, where new management wants a fresh start after summer camp went
wrong. All the twins have to do is perform a show scripted a century ago, and give up bits of their body heat. The show must go on, right? Right?!
