Edward Whitney to Lead Piedmont Players' THE NERD; Full Cast Announced!
The Piedmont Players have announced the full cast for their upcoming production of THE NERD, set to run July 25-27, 31 & August 1-3 at 7:30pm, with a matinee on July 28 at 2:30pm.
Edward Whitney will lead the cast as Willum Cubbert, with Emily Schuttenberg as Tansy McGinnis, Josh Wainright as Axel Hammond, Andy Ambramson as Rick Steadman, Barnett Sherman as Warnock Waldgrave, Lori Van Wallandael as Clelia Waldgrave, and Miles Abramson as Thor.
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 play ran on Broadway for 441 performances starring Mark Hamill and directed by Charles Nelson Reilly.
Box Office Opens Mon. July 15th (Adults $15 Seniors/Students $12).
