The Nightmare WASP begins with the comedy The Actor’s Nightmare, in which a hapless man finds himself performing on stage with no idea what he’s doing there, followed by comedian Steve Martin’s WASP, a satirical look at the archetypal American family. The Nightmare WASP is directed by students Justin Day and Caroline Dischell, and features an all student cast: Landry Bohn, Sarah Forshey, Gary Freedman, Konrad Sanders, Addie Starbird and Anna Zurliene. The Actor’s Nightmare is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service Inc. and WASP is presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
