The Nerd – Butterfly Creek Theatre Troupe

Muritai School Hall 166 Muritai Road, Eastbourne, Lower Hutt

Our next production – The Nerd, by Larry Shue – is now cast and in rehearsal. The production will be in the Muritai School Hall at 7:30pm on July 10, 11, 12, 18, 19 and 20. Tickets are now available from Humanitix. Set in the mid-Western, mid-sized city of Terre Haute, Indiana, Willum’s architectural career is ticking along nicely. When he has a surprise phone call and hears that he will finally meet the man (Rick Steadman) who anonymously saved his life in Viet Nam, he is thrilled. His positive outlook quickly turns sour when he discovers that Rick is a hopeless nerd, devoid of any social and emotional intelligence.
