Looking for a boy ages 8-10 years old for "The Nerd" Play. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. About the project: Set in Terre Haute, Indiana , The Nerd presents the story of Willum Cubbert, an unassuming young architect, who is landlord to friends Tansy and Axel. The three of them are good friends. Axel and Tansy are present when Willum, during his birthday party, becomes host to unexpected houseguest Rick Steadman, who had saved Willum's life in Vietnam. Although they’ve never met, Willum has promised Rick that he could come to him for help at any time. Warnock Waldgrave, (Willum’s client for whom he is designing a hotel), shows up to the party along with his wife and young son. Soon, Rick shows up. His awkward manner and inappropriate behavior throw the occasion into shambles. Rick decides to move in, and Willum feels that he can't say no, even when Rick begins to destroy his professional relationship with Mr. Waldgrave. Eventually at his wit's end, Axel devises a plan to get rid of Rick, which Willum decides to take a chance on.

1 role
The Out-of-Control Troublemaker: Their son. A mischievous, spoiled child who says exactly what he thinks. Often the spark that sets off the adults’ chaos. 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.
