Abstract
For my senior project, I performed in the Spring Purchase Performance Lab production of Christopher Durang's The Actor's Nightmare as George Spelvin.  The Actor's Nightmare by Christopher Durang is a short comic play about an accountant named George Spelvin who is mistaken for an actor and forced to perform in a series of plays for which he does not know any of his lines.  My research paper discusses where George lives within the framework of Christopher Durang, and where this nightmare lives within his reality.
