Kicking the season off are two one-act plays by Christopher Durang, winner of the 2013 Best Play Tony Award for “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike”. Durang's two one-act plays “The Actor’s Nightmare” and “Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All To You” open Portal Players’ season on October 6. “The Actor’s Nightmare”, is a hilarious spoof detailing the plight of a stranger who is suddenly pushed on stage to replace an ailing actor; in “Sister Mary Ignatius . . .”, a nun explains the basic tenets of Catholicism. Directed by Belinda Williams, these plays are often paired together with largely the same cast members. They will also travel to the Vancouver Island One Act Play Festival this November in Qualicum.
