If you are hired as a featured ensemble member and as an understudy for four different lead and supporting lead roles (all for the same show), how would you "word" this on a resume?�

Should it be listed as "performing understudy for....." (and then list the four roles)?

Or is there another "term" used for someone who performs in the show as a regular and understudies more than one role?

In general, you would only list understudy work if you go on.

Though I have also seen "Main Role You Play (u/s One Role, others)"
