C’mon, look at him. Give this character a break — buy tickets and go see his show. The Nerd character in “The Nerd” (played by non-nerd actor Roger Dykeman) in the latest DAC Stage production opening on Friday, Nov. 6. The Nerd, a comedy by Larry Shue is running for 3 weeks in November at the DAC Weatherstone Studio.
The Nerd, a two-act comedy written by American playwright Larry Shue opens on Friday, Nov. 6 at the Darien Arts Center, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2015. This top grossing American play is based on the hilarious dilemma of Willum Cubbert, an unassuming young architect visited by a man he’s never met, but who saved his life while unconscious in Vietnam. The visitor turns out to be an incredibly inept, hopelessly stupid “nerd” who outstays his welcome with a vengeance. The DAC Stage production, filled with laughter and silliness, promises to deliver all kinds of humor to audiences.
The Darien Arts Center Stage fall season is underway as it prepares for its production of The Nerd by Larry Shue. The comedy begins its 3-week run on weekends in November, and ready to bring the audience to its knees laughing, are both cast and crew that include local talent from Darien and surrounding areas. ___________
