DUBOIS – The Reitz Theater of Cultural Resources Inc. in DuBois is proud to announce the cast and performance dates for The Nerd, written by Larry Shue, directed by Tracey Dusch.
It runs April 8-9-14-15-16 at 7 p.m. and April 10 at 2 p.m., with a sensory-friendly show on Wednesday, April 13 at 7 p.m. The show is sponsored by Dr. Jack Britten, DDS, of Brockway.
Set in Terre Haute, Ind., in late 1979, The Nerd centers on the hilarious dilemma of a young architect who is visited by Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was seriously wounded in Vietnam.
Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpectedly at his apartment on the night of his thirty-fourth birthday party. However, Rick’s awkward manner and inappropriate behavior throw the occasion into shambles.
It turns out that Rick is an awkward “nerd” who overstays his welcome with a vengeance.
