The Obie-winning one-act play, Sister Mary Ignatius... which will be performed along with Durang's comedy The Actor's Nightmare, opened in 1979 and had a two-and-a-half year run on Broadway. Controversial at the time, it is known as one of the best plays by Durang, whose Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike won the 2013 Tony for Best Play.
Sister Mary Ignatius.. and The Actor's Nightmare, the story of an accountant mistaken for an actor's understudy who is pushed onto the stage even though he doesn't know any of the lines, have been performed together since 1981.
