Nova has FREE tickets for the hilarious new show Dweeb-a-Mania at Polka Theatre!
Kemi and Norah are proud mega-nerds until Bentley—the most popular boy in school—snubs them from his wrestling-themed party and calls them “dweebs.” Horrified, they decide to prove him wrong by secretly becoming champion wrestlers, crashing Bentley’s party, and showing everyone just how cool they really are.
Packed with flying kicks, body slams, and an unbelievable amount of barbecued chicken, Dweeb-a-Mania is a fast-paced comedy about friendship, confidence, and being exactly who you want to be.
