Verge Theater’s stage calendar is funny and festive this holiday season! Here’s a look at some of the fantastic performances happening in the coming weeks.
Verge kicks off the final month of 2018 with a special Silly Moose Comedy Improv for Kids on Saturday, December 1st at Country Bookshelf downtown. This edition of the popular series is FREE of admission and will begin at 3pm, just ahead of the Downtown Christmas Stroll. These events give families an extra chance to laugh together. After all, laughter decreases stress hormones. It also increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, improving our resistance to disease. And of course, laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, giving people an overall sense of well-being.
And of course, laughs for adults! Ryan Cassavaugh’s latest and greatest Christmas play, Eddie’s First Christmas on Patrol, opens December 6th. The long-awaited sequel to Jimmy’s First Christmas on Parole features the same actors as new characters in a fresh setting, a bar complete with Santa – in cuffs! You can rest assured you’ll be seeing the most original Christmas play out there. As Ryan says, “Jimmy’s was just the beginning…” This show runs Thursdays through Saturdays, December 6th–15th with performances at 8pm each night. Eddie’s First Christmas on Patrol is recommended for ages 17+ due to adult themes and language. Tickets are $14 in advance, or $16 at the door.
Also at the Little Black Box, the always-hilarious Monday night Improv on the Verge shows. With a mixture of short-form games (like you see on the popular tv show Whose Line is It Anyway?) and long-form stories, everything you see on stage is created on the spot using audience suggestions. With crowd favorites, the Bozeman Improverts AND some new faces, you won’t want to miss the best way to start your week. Come get cheap thrills for your laugh hole with advanced tickets for only $7, or $9 at the door. Upcoming shows are set for December 10th and 17th. All performances start at 7pm. Ages 17+.
