Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All to You

Welcome to Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrows School, where Sister Mary Ignatius rules the roost with her theology of a bygone era…or tries to. Backed by visual aids depicting the earth, the sun, heaven, hell, purgatory, and limbo, Sister Mary expounds, without delay, on the moral order of the universe, as settled by Catholic doctrine…but her former students may have something to say about all of this and more.

Winner of the  1980 Obie Award for best play.

The Actors Nightmare

Having casually wandered onstage, George is informed that one of the actors, Eddie, has been in an auto accident and he must replace him immediately. Apparently no one is sure of what play is being performed but George seems to find himself in the middle of a scene from Private Lives, surrounded by such luminaries as Sarah Siddons, Dame Ellen Terry and Henry Irving. What is fantasy and what is reality as wacky chaos continues to erupt around him?
