Two plays by Christopher Durang

The Actor's Nightmare and Baby With The Bathwater

Join our student performers for a wacky evening of comedy.

Christopher Durang is one of America's sharpest, wittiest and satirical playwrights. He is not only one of the foremost comedic playwrights today but also one of the most intelligent.

Durang's distinct point of view on the world, family, religion and theatre creates unforgettable plays and characters. His zany plots and concurrent themes run the gamut, from deeply dark and disturbing to wildly comic and free. The two plays presented in this performance offer these traits and much more.
