Actor and veteran Broadway star dresser Kimberly Prentice stars in the world premiere of Unseen.
Kimberly Prentice announces the world premiere of her solo show Unseen as part of the United Solo Festival Fall 2023 Season. This marks actor and veteran Broadway star dresser Kimberly Prentice's off-Broadway debut. Shows will be performed in the Studio Theatre at Theatre Row (410 W. 42nd St, NY, NY 10036) beginning Oct 14.
Grab your “all access” pass into the mysterious world of Broadway's backstage! Follow veteran “star dresser” Pam as she works her magic through costume changes, confrontations, and quirky actor demands all while staying hidden in the shadows with the rest of the crew. When the stress of invisibility gets heavy, supportive allies rally and equip her to stand up, curse like a sailor, and be seen. This may be a solo show, but Kimberly Prentice quick-changes her way through thirty plus distinct characters as we follow Pam's hilarious – and sometimes harrowing – journey of working in the dark, unseen, while trying not to disappear.
