Roanoke College houses the Gamma Psi chapter of the national theatre honor fraternity, Alpha Psi Omega. Members are recognized for their hard work and dedication to the theatre. Students not yet asked to join Alpha Psi Omega are encouraged to work with the Understudy Cast.
The Understudy Cast tries to involve students in the theatre at Roanoke College. For those interested in acting, they are invited to try out for the Directing class scenes and audition for the three main stage TRC productions. Students more technically inclined are encouraged to help in the scene and costume shops, build and paint sets, work with lighting and sound, run wardrobe, sew costumes, and work on many other duties backstage. The Understudy Cast is kept abreast of what goes on in the theatre at RC and are often invited to see other theatre events in the community.
