view project

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Inspired by her 25-year career as a Broadway dresser, Kimberly Prentice’s solo show UNSEEN offers an “all-access” look behind the curtain, exploring themes of invisibility, hierarchy, and transformation.

The show follows Pam, a veteran “star” dresser clad all in black, navigating rapid costume changes, backstage tensions, and quirky actor demands. In a dynamic, fast-paced performance, Prentice portrays over 30 characters using quick changes, comedy, and audience interaction.

Unseen is both a behind-the-scenes comedy and a powerful story of finding one’s voice—shining a spotlight on the unseen heroes who keep Broadway running.
