Academia Nuts Event Promo

“Double over with laughter funny.”
— WSTV/WRKY

In a quiet New England college town, reclusive professor Peter Smedforson lives a life of literary solitude—until chaos knocks on his door. His peaceful home, once owned by the enigmatic poet E.R. Lennox, becomes ground zero for academic ambition and eccentric intrusions. Enter Tammi, a free-spirited former dancer from Atlantic City; Judith, a determined scholar on the hunt for a lost manuscript; and Stewart, Judith’s conniving ex-husband with his own agenda.

As secrets unravel and identities collide, this witty and urbane comedy spirals into a whirlwind of mistaken motives, intellectual one-upmanship, and unexpected revelations. Academia Nuts is a fast-paced farce that proves even the most bookish lives can be turned upside down—with hilarious results.

** Pre-sale for MFT Season Pass Holders begins Dec. 29 and ends Jan. 11 @ 6pm. Tickets go on sale to the general public Jan. 12. **

Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
