The curtain will rise tonight—Friday, April 10—on the laugh-out-loud comedy, The Nerd, to cap the University Players’ 2014-15 season.
The play is set in the small town of Terre Haute, Indiana, where aspiring architect Willum Cubbert is nestled snugly into his normal life. That is, until he receives a visit from a man he has never met, but who once saved his life in Vietnam.
With hilarious twists at every turn, this side-splitting comedy is truly the stuff of slapstick gold. This Sunday, April 12, a “Talk Back” discussion with the director and actors will follow the performance.
Wednesday through Saturday performances are at 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets are available online at www.UniversityPlayers.com or by calling 519-253-3000, ext. 2808.
