Verge Theater remixes Chekhov’s The Seagull w/ latest production

Verge Theater continues its brand new, (already spectacular) 25th season with some fantastic performances! Here’s a look at what’s happening in the coming weeks.
               This October, Stupid F*cking Bird comes in for a landing on Verge’s Main Stage. In the irreverent, contemporary and very funny remix of Chekhov’s The Seagull, Aaron Posner stages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all.
An aspiring young director rampages against the art created by his mother’s generation. A nubile young actress wrestles with an aging Hollywood star for the affections of a renowned novelist. And everyone discovers just how disappointing love, art, and growing up can be. Stupid F*cking Bird will tickle, tantalize and incite you to consider how art, love, and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.
Flip (Chekhov) the bird at Verge with director Mark Kuntz and an all-star cast including Lizzy Bennett, Miles Duffey, Ryan Lawrence Flynn, Torie Laher, Colter Langan, Claire McGinty, and Gabe Taurman! The show runs Fridays and Saturdays, Oct. 5th–20th at 8pm each night. Advanced tickets are $14, or $16 at the door. These performances are for those 17+.
Improv on the Verge continues its season of hilarious Monday night 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 October 8th and 22nd. All shows start at 7pm. Ages 17+.
And for some Improv for the whole family, bring the kids to Silly Moose Comedy Improv Hour on Saturdays throughout the season. Join Silly the Moose and his gang of wacky improvisers as they entertain and delight kids of all ages. An upcoming show is set for October 20th at 3pm. Advance tickets are $7, or $9 at the door.
