Title: The Nerd
Set in the mid-Western, mid-sized city of Terre Haute, Indiana, this play follows Willum Cubbert, a talented young architect whose orderly life is thrown into chaos when he receives a surprise phone call announcing a meeting with the man who saved his life in Viet Nam.
His excitement quickly turns to dismay when he meets Rick Steadman—a socially awkward, emotionally unintelligent nerd—whose uninvited stay upends his life.
As Rick moves in and disrupts Willum’s career and relationships, the situation spirals into a desperate, often hilarious, battle for control over his own destiny.
