Dweeb-a-Mania

Dweeb-a-Mania Synopsis

If we sneak in to Bentley's party and
present an undeniable routine of wrestling
excellence, everyone will see. We'll lay the
foundations for the rest of our lives. Not as
dweebs, but as heroes.

Kemi and Norah are mega-nerds through and through. They think they know a lot about... everything! But when popular boy Bentley refuses to invite them to his wrestling-themed party, they discover, to their horror, that he thinks they are dweebs! It turns out that they have a lot to learn - especially about wrestling. Together, they secretly launch a plan to become champion wrestlers, crash Bentley's party, and prove to everyone that they are, in fact, extremely cool.

Dweeb-A-Mania is a punchy, powerful new comedy for ages 8-13 years which celebrates being exactly who you want to be. Get ready for flying kicks, body slams and a mind-blowing number of barbecued chickens!
