The Nerd

Take the cast of The Big Bang Theory, combine it with every Jerry Lewis movie ever and add in the essence of Urkel -- and you still won't get a nerdier dweeb than the hilariously obtuse lead of The Nerd. Willum has it all: a promising career, great friends and a steady girlfriend. But when Rick Steadman, the man who saved his life during Vietnam, drops in unannounced, mayhem ensues -- for Rick is a bumbling oaf of the first (last?) order. Thus his announcement that he intends to move in sends Willum and his friends scheming to get rid of him. But Willum's plan -- to "out-nerd" The Nerd -- leads only to further disaster (and comedy). Buffalo Community Theater now presents this hilarious work by Larry Shue (The Foreigner) at Discovery Auditorium.
