What happens if you accept an offer, sign the contract, and then weeks later production rescinds the offer because they want to cast another actor in your role?

Worried I'll be distracted by friends/important people in the audience.

This weekend I'm in two evenings of short plays: performing in one, directing another. I got drafted late to perform and, not being a super experienced actor (I've done sketch and improv and music recitals but not much actual acting), I'm getting a little...
