Piedmont Players Theatre along with Fibrant Presents Value Night for THE NERD, 7/31
One of the funniest plays ever written, this extraordinarily inventive, side-splitting comedy was first presented by the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre, then produced in Great Britain, then went on to Broadway. The action centers on the hilarious dilemma of a young architect who is visited by a man he's never met but who saved his life in Vietnam-the visitor turning out to be an incredibly inept, hopelessly stupid "nerd" who outstays his welcome with a vengeance.
"...the audience almost never stops laughing-handkerchiefs wiping away tears of merriment..." -Variety.
"...a spring tonic of side-bruising laughter..." -The Milwaukee Tribune.
The play ran on Broadway for 441 performances starring Mark Hamill and directed by Charles Nelson Reilly and was the highest selling American show on the West End in London in 1986.
