Description:

Looking for a boy for the Theatre Play "The Nerd". Please see the details below. About the project: Show Description - Now an aspiring young architect in Terre Haute, Indiana, Willum Cubbert has often told his friends about the debt he owes to Rick Steadman, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was wounded in Vietnam. Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpectedly at his apartment on the night of his thirty-fourth birthday party. But his delight soon fades as it becomes apparent that Rick is a hopeless “nerd” —a bumbling oaf with no social sense, little intelligence and less tact. And Rick stays on and on, his continued presence among Willum and his friends leading to one uproarious incident after another, until the normally placid Willum finds himself contemplating violence—a dire development which, happily, is staved off by the surprising “twist” ending of the play. Additional info: Auditionees should prepare a 1-minute comedic monologue and come prepared to be asked to read from the script if deemed necessary. Auditionees should come prepared with a headshot, resume, and a complete list of conflicts from January 1st through February 15th. There is potential for a cast read through the week of December 8th, pending cast availability. Rehearsal Info - Monday-Thursday from 6:30pm-9:00pm If interested, please apply.

Thor WaldgraveMale8-11 y.o.All ethnicities

Completing the Waldgrave family is Thor, the chaos-inducing son. Axel calls him the “poster child for Planned Parenthood,” and it’s clear to see why. Thor’s antics, often involving hiding in closets or bedrooms, contribute to the farcical nature of the play.
