Letters From a Nut at Geffen Playhouse

Ted L. Nancy is a customer in need of service ... and every customer service rep's worst nightmare. He writes to the City of Huntington Beach requesting a permit for operating his Electronic Nose Blowing Machine, invites Czechoslovakian President Václav Havel to become Treasurer of Ted's Vacuum Club, asks Nordstrom about buying a mannequin that looks like his deceased neighbor to present to the grieving widow, and more. Time after time, well-meaning representatives offer earnest replies to his letters. Based on his bestselling series of books Letters From a Nut, Nancy brings his madcap collection of correspondence to L.A. for a one-of-a-kind show that is both outlandish and uproarious. Innovative French director Pierre Balloón directs and comedy icon Jerry Seinfeld produces this ode to idiosyncrasy at Geffen Playhouse's Audrey Skirball Kenis Theater.
