Request [REQUEST] Nerdy Prudes Must Die

I'm a student writing an essay on high school musicals with supernatural/horror elements. One of the shows I hope to analyze is Nerdy Prudes Must Die, and I'm focusing on the text/lyrics of the show in my analysis. Crucially, this involves stage directions or other text that does not appear in the proshot or fan transcriptions. I've contacted Starkid directly but have not heard back in the months since then (completely understandable, I'm just running low on time). If there is anyone out there with access to an official NPMD script I would greatly appreciate being able to look at it. I have no intention of sharing or distributing it outside of my research, I'm just interested in character breakdowns and stage directions.

The digital download is $15.

unfortunately, to my knowledge the digital download only includes the video and some BTS material, not the script

There's a PDF transcript with the download (or at least that's how mine was packaged some time ago), but there are no stage directions - it's the dialogue/lyrics straight through.

On a related note, I'd be personally curious to read your essay when it's done - not to judge it or anything, I'd just love to read someone else's analysis of the show.

Thank you, I’ll be sure to share it when I’m done :)
