Have you ever wanted to wander on stage during a theater performance? George did, and was informed he must take up a role for a missing actor. But what show is he filling in for? Is it Hamlet? Private Lives? A Man For All Seasons?
In “The Actor’s Nightmare” a comedy by Christopher Durang, George learns what it’s like to become a leading actor. Join us to find out how he handles the pressure of suddenly being pushed into the limelight because the show must go on.
