BLERDS Opens This Week at the Know Theatre

Know Theatre presents: BLERDS (Black + Nerd) the play that follows three middle schoolers as they set off across Washington, DC, on a quest to reach a Star Wars Convention and meet the coolest Jedi in the galaxy: Samuel L. Jackson.

A world premiere coming-of-age journey in the spirit of The Goonies and Stand By Me from J. Corey Buckner. An adventure quest about Black family joy and the perils of the very real world, as told through the lens of Star Wars fandom.

Director Derek Snow has the details in today’s Spotlight.  And click on the link below for my full interview with Derek.
