From ACTORS COLLABORATIVE TOLEDO
Actors Collaborative Toledo (ACT) will stage “Durang/Durang,” a collection of comedic and satirical short plays and monologues by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Christopher Durang. Performances will take place Jan. 23–25, in the Chapel Theatre at Trinity Episcopal Church, 316 Adams Street, Toledo.
Showtimes are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m.
Tickets for “Durang/Durang” are available at www.act419.org. Seating is limited.
Directed by ACT co-founder John DuVall, “Durang/Durang” showcases Durang’s unmistakable voice—acerbic, outrageous, and deeply human. The production brings together some of his most celebrated short works and monologues, offering audiences a fast-paced evening of laughter, absurdity, and sharp social commentary.
The production features Gabrielle Southwell, Jeffrey Albright, and Mike Schmitz, alongside Leigh Yenrick, Nick Yates, Phoenix Mossing, and Sophia Farrugia, all making their Actors Collaborative Toledo debut.
Director John DuVall shares, “I have always loved the absurdity and wit of Durang. To me, his placement of ordinary people in extraordinary settings—and extraordinary people in ordinary settings—is brilliant. Directing these wonderful short plays and monologues with this talented cast is pure joy.”
Christopher Durang’s work remains strikingly relevant, lampooning institutions, relationships, and cultural norms with wit that is both outrageous and insightful. “Durang/Durang” is a celebration of his legacy and a testament to the enduring power of smart, provocative comedy.
