Coal Creek Community Theater presents

The Nerd

by Larry Shue
Directed by Dan Schock

Willum Cubbert owes his life to Rick Steadman, a fellow soldier who carried him to safety in Vietnam. They've never actually met, but Willum has promised to do anything for the man who saved him. So when Rick shows up at his thirty-fourth birthday party, Willum is thrilled. For about five minutes. Because Rick is a catastrophically annoying houseguest with no social skills, no self-awareness, and no intention of leaving. One of the most reliably hilarious comedies in the American repertoire, with a twist ending that lands like a gift.

Run Time - 2 hours and 15 minutes with one 10-minute intermission
