Compton ’09), schemes against his nerdy nephew, arranging a competition between Hugh and a really, really ridiculously good-looking statue, resurrected for the purpose. The literal deification of the dork and the lovelorn trials of geeky girl and resident accountant Roseanne (Derek S. Mueller ’10) make for a show that joins frat boys and math...
