Ever feel like you're getting old? Yeah, us too. Nerdom has changed since 2012 when Dad's Garage first produced a?oeThe Wrath of Cona?? -- Marvel has taken over the big screen, fandoms are mainstream, and Dragon Con now has 80,000+ attendees. With today's streaming services, Twitch, and the popularity of superhero movies, nerd culture has gone mainstream, and Cons are no longer the niche events they once were. a?oeWrath of Con 2: Into Dorknessa?? is an original scripted play that looks into the life of nerds dealing with their fandoms becoming the mainstream culture of America and what happens when they feel disconnected from the things they once loved.
"The Wrath of Con" follows five nerds as they adventure through a weekend at the Sci-Fi convention Dragon*Con. Albert and Hank have been best friends for years, and after Hank's terrible break up, Albert brings him to Dragon*Con to take his mind off his ex. While there, Hank falls for Con newbie Shiela, who has come to the Con to find 'her people." What she discovers is Diana, a long-time Con goer and admittedly friendless person. Diana helps Shiela find confidence in who she is, and they become friends. In the end Shiela and Hank find the love and friendship they had been searching for with each other.
