Synopsis

This amusing farce written by a young couple who grew up in the professional theatre is exceptionally playable. The high school gang hates the boywonder Dan. They've heard too much about his IQ. They despise his "Smart-Me, Dumb-You" attitude. Then the star athlete Puff is disqualified from all athletic events. Dan has a big problem of his own. His parents won't let him take the college entrance exams as long as he's so unpopular. So Dan offers a trade: he'll tutor Puff if the gang will rally around him and act like friends even if they're not. He's a "perfect" idiot!

Customer Reviews

The title itself will make you laugh, but it is the sarcastic comments of the "know-it-all" Dan Tennyson (boy genius) that really make the audience laugh while unfolding a plot to discover the real idiot. It is easy for any teenager to identify with Dan's maturing.

Mary Hunt, Redwood School District, Eureka, MO

The Perfect Idiot kept the audience laughing right from the beginning. It had several unique characters which allowed a number of cast members the opportunity to shine! Although we did it in modern times, it could easily be a period piece set in the 50's.
