Event Description: | University Theatre 2024-2025 Season Stupid Bird by Aaron Posner sort of adapted from The Seagull by Anton Chekhov Director: Paul B. Crook November 14 - 16 at 7:00pm and November 17 at 2:00pm Adults: $10.00 / Students: $5.00 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. In this 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. Original songs composed by James Sugg draw the famously subtextual inner thoughts of Chekhov's characters explicitly to the surface. Stupid Bird will tickle, tantalize, and incite you to consider how art, love, and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness. (Note: This play contains mature language and themes) |
