Took my wife who is a debout catholic and made her ponder some of her religious reliefs. Which in the end is what good theater should do. The boy actor was great as where all the other actors.

I had to see this outrageous and totally hilarious thing three times! After the first time, I knew I had to bring some friends who would find it as funny as I had. And that little kid, Cole Cloud, who played "Thomas," absolutely stole the show. What a fine little actor. It'll be interesting to watch his career. Hope he sticks with it. He is clearly gifted.

Both plays were okay. Having seen both Cloris Leachman and Lynn Redgrave as Sister, they were both hard to top. Cole Cloud as Thomas was the best of the bunch. Actor's Nightmare didn't come off as well as I remember.

The main event, Durang's Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You, went very well. The actress playing the despicable sister did a fantastic job despite the fact that her voice was going.

Description

For the final show of the 2009/10 season, Custom Made proudly presents Durang Me! featuring two of Christopher Durang's most hilarious scripts. Durang Me! is an evening of dark comedy, satire, and hysterical absurdist twists and turns.

In The Actor's Nightmare, a lone man is thrust upon the stage, but who exactly is George Spelvin and why doesn't he know his lines? Or even which show he is in? And did Henry VIII just walk into a Beckett play? If you have ever wondered about an actor's (or is it an accountant's?) greatest fear, Christopher Durang explains it all for you in this fast and furious one-act comedy.

Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You is a legendary dark comedy that has stood not only the test of time, but the real-life scandals of the Catholic Church. Brilliantly contrasting doctrine with reality, Durang's Sister Mary is an ageing nun holding onto the pre-reform Church for dear life. When four of her ex-students confront the sister for the part she played in their troubled lives, Sister Mary must explain to all of us what we have done to make Jesus weep.
