What is multi-roling mean in drama?

Multi-roling, also known as doubling or split casting, is a theatrical practice where actors portray multiple roles within a single production while performing in different scenes. Unlike understudies, the actor performs as two entirely separate characters. This technique offers versatility, creative storytelling, and logistical solutions to productions facing casting or budget constraints. Multi-roling allows performers to showcase their range and adaptability, creating richer storytelling opportunities.
