Verge settles into new home with anticipated return to the stage
At long last, Bozeman’s beloved Verge Theater is back with a brand new production to be enjoyed by local audiences. Though it sadly was forced to close its former black box space during the pandemic, Verge will continue to offer its timely theatrics with the same production quality we’ve come to expect over the years.
Performances of Stephen Sondheim musical Assassins will be held at the Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture’s Crawford Theater June 10th–19th. Friday and Saturday showings begin at 7:30pm, with a Sunday matinee to follow at 3pm.
A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassins combines Sondheim’s signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation’s culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by America’s four successful and five would-be presidential assassins.
Described as “bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny,” Assassins is known for its controversial depiction of American society. The production is recommended for ages 18 and older due to mature themes of murder, suicide, and singular use of a historically accurate but terrible racial slur. Tickets are a suggested $25 or available in smaller amounts to accommodate all guests.
Tickets for Assassins are available for purchase now. Visit www.vergetheater.com for reservations and further information about educational opportunities for aspiring thespians. •
