Sister Mary Ignatius / The Actor’s Nightmare

In Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You, Chris Durang’s infamous Sister Mary delivers a sometimes cute, sometimes dismaying catechism lecture — her yearly offering about how the world works; yet despite her seemingly saintly demeanor, this is one righteous woman no one should cross.

In The Actor’s Nightmare, poor George, an accountant by trade, finds himself forced to “strut and fret his hour upon the stage” unsure of how he got there and what exactly he’s supposed to do.
