Produced in cooperation with Dramatists Play Service
Set in Terre Haute, Indiana in 1980, The Nerd centers on the hilarious dilemma of young architect Willum Cubbert who is visited by Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was seriously wounded in Vietnam. Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpectedly at his apartment on the night of his thirty-fourth birthday party. However, Rick’s awkward manner and inappropriate behavior throw the occasion into shambles. It turns out that Rick is a hopeless nerd with no social sense and little tact and overstays his welcome with a vengeance!

THE PLAYERS GUILD OF DEARBORN COVID-19 POLICY
The Board of Governors at the Players Guild of Dearborn adopted a policy that states that, at this time, anyone participating in an indoor activity on Guild property must be fully vaccinated from the COVID-19 virus. This includes the children looking to audition for the production!
This policy will be reviewed monthly and in accordance with state and federal health and safety authorities. The Players Guild is committed to providing a sage and comfortable environment for our potential and current members to create and enjoy theatre.

As we get ready to bring the curtain up on The Nerd, we would like to take a moment to acknowledge our two Silver Sponsors for the season- McPherson Local and Howe-Peterson Funeral Home & Cremation Services! Your contributions to the return of the magic of live theatre to our community are greatly appreciated by the entirety of the Players Guild family. From the bottom of our hearts: thank you.
