Synopsis
In a dilapidated warehouse at an abandoned amusement park, an aging mechanical fortune-teller called The Amazing Karnak comes to life, and brings with him a ghostly choir of five deceased high-schoolers – all members of the Saint Cassian Chamber Choir, who were tragically killed on the park’s Cyclone roller coaster. Now, Karnak has the power to return one of these youths to life – but they must all decide among themselves who is the most worthy of a second chance to “ride the cyclone” that is life.

The Nerd Auditions

Show Dates April 10, 11, 12 – 17, 18, 19
ABOUT THE SHOW: Set in Terre Haute, IN, in the late 70s / early 80s, “The Nerd” is a frantic comedy about aspiring young architect Willum Cubbert. Willum has often told his friends about the debt he owes to Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was seriously wounded in Vietnam. He has written to Rick to say that, as long as he is alive, “you will have somebody on Earth who will do anything for you.” So Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpectedly at his apartment on the night of his thirty-fourth birthday party! But his delight soon fades as it becomes apparent that Rick is a hopeless “nerd” — a bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence and less tact. As Rick outstays his welcome with a vengeance, his continued presence leads the normally placid Willum, along with his boss and his friends, into one uproarious incident after another.
