Verge: improv, last chance for live radio theater 
Verge Theater laughs its way through summer with the seventh season of Don’t Close Your Eyes: Live Radio Theatre. Montana’s longest running live radio theater runs Fridays and Saturdays through 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.
Verge Theater will host two remaining Monday evening Improv Shows this summer — July 24th and August 21st at 7pm each evening. There is no cost for attendance! These shows will showcase the talent of current and past students of Verge’s Improv School (joined by an Improvert or two!), keeping the spirit alive during Improv on the Verge’s off-season. The Bozeman Improverts will return to the stage for their 2017-2018 Season beginning in September.
