Verge finishes off summer w/ improv for all ages, poetry & art
Verge Theater closes its off-season with some spectacular stage antics fit for the sunny season! Here’s a look at what’s happening during the final weeks of summer at your neighborhood community theater.
First up, laughs for the little ones! Silly Moose Comedy Improv is made for families who like to laugh together. This fun and interactive Improvisation show for kids and parents is set for Saturday, August 18th at 3pm. The kids are encouraged to get crazy, shout suggestions and become a part of the hilarity on stage. Adults can just sit back, enjoy, and watch the mayhem ensue. Just like the Improv on the Verge shows, but with a G rating! Tickets for the Silly Moose Improv Show are $7 in advance, or $9 at the door. Children 2 and under are admitted FREE!
Improv on the Verge continues with special guests to help close out summer! The Bozeman Improverts will share the stage with students who have graduated through Verge Theater’s Improv School on Monday, August 20th at 7pm. Come join in on the fun and laughter as the grads show off their skills, giving the biggest laughs for the fewest bucks! Guaranteed to be a hilarious start to your week, popular improv games are played in the style of Whose Line is it Anyway?, as well as long-form improv. Everything is created on the spot and based on audience suggestions. Come enjoy cheap thrills for your laugh hole! Improv on the Verge tickets are $7 in advance, or $9 at the door.
Verge’s “Flight of Summer” concludes with poetry and art pop-up show Ekphrasis on Friday and Saturday, August 24th–25th at 8pm each night. A collaboration with Bozeman Poetry Collective, this wonderful weekend of thoughtful prose and beautiful art takes over the Verge stage through the merging of these mediums. Tickets are $7 in advance, or $9 at the door.
A preview of what’s to come, Verge’s NEW season kicks off with The Gun Show next month. Starring Mark Kuntz and directed by Will Dickerson, this production will showcase a conversation about guns – one that’ll hopefully continue after curtain call. The Gun Show is set for Friday and Saturday evenings, September 7th–22nd at 8pm each night. Advance tickets are $14.
