NUMBERS NERDS
COMMISSIONED BY CPA THEATRICALS

Music by David Kornfeld

Book by Laura Stratford

Lyrics by Alex Higgin-Houser

Story by Larry Little

Additional music by Dylan MarcAurele

The almost all-girl high school math team from Waukesha, Wisconsin, has lost – and then won – the regional math competition. They are off to compete in the National Math SUM-IT. These smart and funny whiz kids must unite to solve difficult math problems without getting distracted by teen drama and pressures.

 

Always witty, sometimes uproarious, this is the story of girls becoming women – conquering anxiety and rivalry, finding a way to affirm themselves as individuals and as team-members, learning to win at math… and at life!

Casting: 5F/1M, with large-cast edition adding chorus parts for up to 25 additional actors
