Verge presents live radio theatre, summer improv
Verge Theater is kicks off summer with some truly spectacular performances! Here’s a look at what’s happening in the coming weeks.
Don’t Close Your Eyes: Live Radio Theatre returns for its seventh season with a number of upcoming summer performances. Montana’s longest running live radio theater runs Fridays and Saturdays, June 9th – July 22nd at 8pm each evening. Watch as a live cast stages traditional radio-style recordings complete with live sound effects! Each play is written, rehearsed, and produced in one week, highlighting the fast paced world of live radio.
To preserve the excitement, challenges, and accompanying creative energy that comes with recreating an old-time weekly radio broadcast, writers Keith Suta and Ryan Cassavaugh alternate scripting a brand-new, one-hour program each week, always in a different genre — from mystery, comedy, and suspense, to sci-fi, western, adventure, and more! Each episode is presented for one weekend only by a talented and multi-voiced cast of actors, musicians, and live sound effects performers. Tickets are $10 per show and $8 for students and seniors. Series passes are also available.
Just announced! Verge Theater will host three special Monday evening Improv Shows this summer — June 26th, July 24th and August 21st at 7pm each evening. These shows will showcase the talent of current and past Improv students, keeping the spirit alive during Improv on the Verge’s off-season.
