Verge Theater Opens 2018-2019 Season!

Verge Theater is opening a packed and exciting 25th season. Read on for descriptions of September offerings, but go to vergetheater.com for more specific info on shows, classes, and ways to get involved!

On our Main Stage in September, Will Dickerson directs Mark Kuntz in The Gun Show. Join us for a moving one-man show on one of America's most divisive subjects. Author E.M. Lewis invites us into her history with guns through a series of stories from her life.

"Like a lot of people, I've had a variety of experiences with guns and am conflicted about guns. This is not a far right or a far left play. This is a grappling with guns in American society, and trying to figure out if there's some way to come to terms with their presence, or some way in which we can make them a little bit more safe for us. It's not an all-or-nothing proposition." -E.M. Lewis

Following the play will be a community dialogue that opens with what seems a simple question, but up to this point has not been: Can we have a conversation about this? Verge Theater is presenting E.M. Lewis' The Gun Show on Fridays and Saturdays, Sept. 7-22, at 8PM. Tickets are $14 online or $16 at the door.

At the end of September, on the Main Stage for one hilarious weekend only is Random Acts Of Improv. You'll be glued to your seat as you watch The Bozeman Improverts defy death and create a long form improvised play-like performance right before your very eyes. Starting with only a suggestion from the audience the Improverts will mold that topic into a one-of-a-kind story that is reasonably solid, relatively cohesive, mostly complete, and genuinely HILARIOUS! Random Acts of Improv runs Thursday-Saturday, September 27-29 at 8PM. Tickets online at $7 or $9 at the door.

Improv On The Verge is back! We've got another season of hilarious Monday night shows headed your way. 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 online at only $7 or $9 at the door. Upcoming shows on September 10 and 24. All shows start at 7pm. Ages 17+

And for some Improv for the whole family bring the kids to our 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. Upcoming shows on September 22 and October 20 at 3PM. Tickets online for $7 or $9 at the door.

The Education wing of Verge Theater is incredibly active at the opening of this season. Verge offers classes for kids, teens and adults! For kids from K-5 we have a couple of offerings, Comedy Improv and Musical Theater. And our first Teen Theater show of the season is Emma! A Pop Musical, by Eric Price. Directed by the incomparable Mark Kuntz, teens will be involved in all aspects of producing and performing a musical. It's a lot of fun for creative teens! We also have several opportunities for adults to learn some stagecraft. Whether you take an Improv Class with one of our high-energy teachers, or delve into an acting class with stage favorite, Jesse Lagos, or investigate character creation through a Stephanie Campbell led Mask Exploration you will not be disappointed. There is too much info on all of these offerings to fit here so.........

Visit vergetheater.com for reservations, education, and more info about our entire 2018-2019 Season. We hope to see you at The Little Black Box On The Edge (of Bozeman)!
