PERKS is the big-hearted story of Josh, a tech-savvy gamer, in love with the beautiful Courtney, but too shy to tell her how he feels. With his nerd-herd/tech posse and Darwin, his gay and most fun friend ever, they secretly write Courtney a musical based on her favorite book, THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER. PERKS is the story of young love, the importance of friendship, and the responsibility of going after your heart’s desire. Drawing from the talents of the rising stars of the Broadway community.
