Verge’s Random Acts warms up stage for next month’s Fun Home Verge’s Silly Moose Comedy Improv gives families extra chances to laugh together
Following an extended run of holiday-themed Eddie’s First Christmas on Patrol, Verge Theater’s stage calendar refuses to give Bozeman audiences a break from laughing in the new year! Here’s a look at some of the fantastic performances happening at the Little Black Box to get 2019 off to a hilarious start.
The Bozeman Improverts are back with Random Acts of Improv to tackle three nights of long-form improvised comedy. Witness the years this troupe has spent honing their communication skills. Come prepared to laugh your ass off at their clever witticisms and zany story arcs! The shows are set for January 17th–19th at 8pm each evening. Tickets are $7 in advance, or $9 at the door. These shows are recommended for ages 17+.
But the kids deserve some (more appropriate) laughs of their own, and Verge’s Silly Moose Comedy Improv gives families extra chances 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. The next show is set for Saturday, January 26th at 3pm. Tickets are $7 in advance, or $9 at the door.
And of course, the always-hilarious Monday night Improv on the Verge shows continue through the winter months! 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 January 28th and February 11th. All performances start at 7pm. Ages 17+.
Mark your calendars for the Verge presentation of critically acclaimed musical, Fun Home. The refreshingly honest, wholly original production is about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes. Based on the graphic novel by Alison Bechdel and featuring Jeanine Tesori and Lisa Kron’s Tony Award-winning score and book (played by a live band!), Fun Home will leave you breathless. The popular musical comes to the edge of Bozeman Friday and Saturday evenings, February 8th–23rd, at 8pm each night. Tickets are $16 in advance, or $18 at the door.
