In 2016, a group of non-theatre students, dissatisfied with both the heavy time commitment demanded by other campus groups and the lack of representation often found in popular musical theatre, decided to take matters into their own hands by creating NOT EVEN REALLY DRAMA STUDENTS, an organization dedicated to inclusive, low-commitment theatre. Since then, NERDS has grown to over 100 active members who write, compose, direct, and perform their original student work. NERDS focuses on uplifting traditionally underrepresented groups in musical theatre and creating a safe, welcoming, and accepting environment for students with all levels of theatrical experience. 

Each semester, NERDS produces one full-length musical, a collection of short musical skits (Mini-Musicals), an Open Mic Night, and a series of Audio Dramas. Anyone can audition or sign up to write, compose, edit, help with the production team, or join the backstage crew. All of our sign-up information can be found on our LinkTree, and emails about upcoming opportunities will be sent to our Listserv, which you can sign up for here.
