The CCC is proud to present two Chris Durang One Acts, for a night of complete insanity!’Dentity CrisisRecovering from a nervous breakdown, Jane is nursed and nagged by her energetic and overwhelming mother, Edith Fromage, who claims to have invented cheese. Plus Jane is very confused by the fact that her mother and her brother Dwayne seem to be having an affair. But then at other times, her brother turns into her father, and then into her grandfather, and sometimes into a French count. So poor Jane feels crazier still.

The Actor’s Nightmare
This play was inspired by the well known dream that many people in theatre have, that they go must perform in a play that they have inexplicably never been to rehearsals for. In this play George is an accountant who wanders onto an empty stage, not certain where he is or how he got there. The stage manager informs him he’s the understudy, and must go on in a few minutes. George doesn’t know his name, doesn’t think he’s an actor, and has no idea what play he’s supposed to do.
