Hi "dreaming" - the Equity Off-Broadway rules
http://www.actorsequity.org/docs/rulebooks/OB_Rulebook_09-12.pdf
seem pretty clear:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
71. UNDERSTUDIES
(A) Except as provided in paragraph (5) below, in an Off-Broadway
production, all parts and/or roles except star roles, "bit"
parts, and one-person shows, shall be covered by an understudy.
(1) Understudies shall be contracted no later than two weeks after
the first public performance ...
...
(5) In announced limited runs, Understudies shall not be required
for the first six weeks of performance.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
So under (5) above, this limited-run production should have had parts understudied by 11/11 (six week from first public performance, around 10/1). If the show still didn't have understudies by now, it would appear to go against the Equity rules, so hopefully that's been addressed.
