两性色午夜 University at Stark Theatre will hold its second theatrical production of the 2019-20 season, 鈥淭he Nerd鈥, a two-act comedy by playwright Larry Shue.
The cast of 鈥淭he Nerd鈥 will take to the campus鈥 stage for opening night at 7:30 p.m. March 6 in The Mary J. Timken Theatre, which is located in the expanded and renovated Fine Arts Building, 6000 Frank Ave. NW.
Directed by 两性色午夜 Stark Theatre Director Jim Weaver, 鈥淭he Nerd鈥 is set in Terre Haute, Indiana, in late 1979. The play centers around the hilarious dilemma of a young architect, Willum Cubbert, who is visited by Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but saved his life after he was seriously wounded in Vietnam. Willum is delighted when the ex-GI shows up unexpectedly at his apartment on the night of his 34th birthday party. However, Rick鈥檚 awkward manner and inappropriate behavior throw the occasion, and Willum鈥檚 life, into shambles.
Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. March 6 and 7, and at 2 p.m. March 8. The show also will take place at 7:30 p.m. March 13 and 14, and at 2 p.m. March 15.
