It’s Glee meets Wii!
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.
The pilot launches on June 19th.
