The Nerd
Directed by Julie Fox
Running June 5-15
The Nerd is a comedic farce by Larry Shue about Willum Cubbert, a soft-spoken young architect in Terre Haute, Indiana, whose life is turned upside down when Rick Steadman—the socially inept, incredibly annoying "nerd" who saved his life in Vietnam—arrives for an unexpected visit and refuses to leave.
The Man Who Came to Dinner
Directed by Chelsea Ottosen
Running June 22-27
The Man Who Came to Dinner is a 1941 comedy about Sheridan Whiteside, an acerbic radio critic who breaks his leg on an icy doorstep and is forced to convalesce at a Midwestern family's home over Christmas. He wreaks havoc, meddling in their lives, controlling the household, and turning their home into a chaotic circus of eccentric guests.
