save the kingdom of Nerdvana. From the beloved author of past season hit plays, <i>
All Greek To Me</i> and <i>Once Upon a Decade</i>, you’ll laugh along with this original fantasy spoof performed by Beck Center's talented youth. Huzzah-Ha-Ha!

it." remarked Spence. "This comedy celebrates the geek in us all.” Spence has cast a variety of Beck Center students – actors, artists, dancers, and singers – who are currently enrolled in arts education classes.
