VERN Will Open Off-Broadway This Week

After six years of thrilling New York audiences with their spontaneously created musicals - and one year in quarantine performing primarily for their pets - the legendary improv group Vern returns to the stage with a brand-new show.

VERN: OFF BROADWAY is a fast-paced and hilarious exploration of musical theater tropes and improvised games - based completely off audience suggestions - in their new two-act show. The climax of the show is a fully made-up musical complete with singing, dancing and a story right out of a Sondheim fever dream.

Get ready for an Off-Broadway musical, a bit more off than usual.

Showtimes for VERN: OFF BROADWAY are Saturday June 12, Wednesday, July 14, Saturday, July 31 & Saturday, September 18, 2021. All shows at 8pm at The Players Theatre, 115 MacDougal St, New York, NY 10012

Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic proof of vaccination is required for entry. An entire team of certified coronavirus response officers will be on hand for each performance.
