Emmy-nominated writers,
Jordan Allen-Dutton and
Erik Weiner, both received BFA's from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts at the Experimental Theatre Wing. Shortly after college, Jordan and Erik co-created and starred in the smash Off-Broadway hit,
The Bomb-itty of Errors, a hip-hop add-rap-tation of Shakespeare's
Comedy of Errors. They performed in over 300 performances of Bomb-itty and it has since played in the West End in London, Chicago, Florida, Dublin, Edinburgh, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Amsterdam, and continues to tour around the world. The show was nominated for a Drama Desk Award, Outer Critic's Circle Award, and won the Jeff Award in Chicago and the Grand Jury Prize for Best Show at the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen. With the success of Bomb-itty, they signed the first ever three-tier deal with MTV and Paramount. Jordan and Erik co-created and starred in the hip-hop sketch comedy series,
Scratch & Burn for MTV in 2002. They were both invited to be fellows at the Sundance Screenwriting Lab with the screen version of
Bomb-itty. Their latest play,

NERDS premiered at the Philadelphia Theater Company in January 2007 and won Outstanding New Play and Outstanding Original Music at the 2007 Barrymore Awards. Jordan and Erik were nominated for a 2007 and 2008 Emmy for writing on
