  • Captain Theatre Nerd and the Magnificent Techies

    Captain Theatre Nerd and The Magnificent Techies

    Written By: Jon Jory
    Length: 30-35 minutes
    Cast Size: 15-40 actors (suggested casting: 10F, 10M)
    Genre: Comedy
    Synopsis:
    Let Captain Theatre Nerd take you on a whirlwind tour of the history of theater from ridiculous melodramas to sweeping musicals. Everything on stage happens just as it's supposed to, except when it goes horribly and hilariously wrong. Actors on strike, indecisive directors, wrong cues and costumes... But the show must go on! Right? Leave it to the techies to save the day.
