Einstein Is A Dummy is a fictional treatment of what the young genius Albert Einstein might have been like at age 12. Unsure of himself, competing with the classroom bully, coping with a self-centered jerk of a music teacher, hoping to impress his first crush: a pretty girl named Elsa. In other words, Albert is in many ways a typical 12-year-old; typical except for the fact that he comes to understand the fundamental principles of existence with far more clarity than you or me.

Accompanied by his sole buddy, a loyal cat, Einstein’s thirteenth year is one of discovery, in which the ways in which our universe works appear so clearly that even adults in the theatre audience will be able to understand them.

Einstein has more immediate concerns, however: He needs to have his violin skills sufficiently up to standard so that he can participate in an important competition. Also, he wants to get the girl.
