Photos: Azuka Theatre Company Presents NERVE

In this dark comedy, Szymkowicz takes a mirror to the world of online dating. Elliot has never had an online date show up while Susan has had far too many and would prefer not to discuss it. In Nerve, the pair navigates a premature declaration of love and far too much information about past relationships. With bits of modern dance, and a twisted Jiminy Cricket-like puppet, Nerve takes a wickedly comic look at the idea of falling into a relationship on the first date and a desperation that may or may not be love. 

Glaccum directs this Philadelphia Premiere. Charlie DelMarcelle is appearing as Elliot. DelMarcelle appeared in Azuka’s The Long Christmas Ride Home. As a director, he has worked regionally for the Fulton Opera House, PA Youth Theatre, Vagabond Acting Troupe, Triangle Theatre, Theatre Of the Seventh Sister, PRC Theatre, University of Pennsylvania, Moravian College and Millersville University. Three of his productions have been honored with two Barrymore nominations for Outstanding Ensemble (A Christmas Carol  and The Art of War) and a City Paper critic’s pick for Bravest Production (Desinence: An Evening of Work by Samuel Beckett).  Leah Walton is playing Susan. She has performed with Walnut Street Theatre, InterAct Theatre Company, Pig Iron Theatre Company, EgoPo Productions, Montgomery Theatre Company, Mum Puppettheatre among many others.
