SexyNurd: Rockstar Trapped in a "Nurd's" Body
Who is your inner rock star? SexyNurd is for anybody who ever wanted to be something or someone they weren't. Trapped in a small factory town with a dearth of dreams, SexyNurd is the story of a boy who pins his only hope of escape on the delusion of becoming a rock star. While railing against the damning fate of his small stature and "expressive eyebrows," his mother defies her body's own trap as she falls victim to Multiple Sclerosis. SexyNurd is a one-man, autobiographical comedy/drama/rock musical about being trapped by your limitations-real and perceived-and the colorful ways one boy survived his adolescent dreams to eventually learn it is only our perceptions that limit us.
