The Hendersonville Performing Arts Company Presents the hysterical comedy, THE NERD written by Larry Shue January 29th through February 7th.  THE NERD is the story of Willum Cubbert, an aspiring young architect who 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 seriously wounded in Vietnam.  He has written to Rick to say that, as long as he is alive, "you will have somebody on Earth who will do anything for you" - so 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 story. The Nerd will be performed on Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and on Sundays at 2:00.  For more information or to purchase your tickets, you can visit our website at hpactn.com or call our box office at 615-826-6037.  The Hendersonville Performing Arts Company is located in the City Square Shopping Center, 260 West Main St., Suite 204 in Hendersonville.  All CDC Guidelines are followed and at the time of your ticket purchase, all seats are automatically socially distanced.
