SYNOPSIS
In a quiet New England college town, reclusive professor Peter Smedforson is perfectly content with his book‑filled, solitary life — until chaos arrives on his doorstep. His peaceful home, once owned by the elusive poet E.R. Lennox, suddenly becomes the centre of academic ambition, unexpected visitors, and delightfully offbeat interruptions.
First comes Tammi, a free‑spirited former dancer from Atlantic City. Then Judith, a determined scholar chasing a long‑lost manuscript. And right behind her is Stewart — Judith’s conniving ex‑husband, armed with his own agenda and absolutely no shame about it.
As secrets surface and motives collide, this witty, urbane comedy spins into a whirlwind of mistaken intentions, intellectual one‑upmanship, and wonderfully unexpected revelations. Academia Nuts is a fast‑paced farce that proves even the most bookish lives can be turned upside down — with hilarious results.
A natural fit for MFT’s comedy‑loving audiences, this clever farce brings big laughs, sharp timing, and the kind of joyful chaos our guests love to share over dinner.
