Fall Lab Show theatre production

The Theatre Department presents STUPID, F*CKING BIRD by Aaron Posner, directed by senior Greg Ayers.

Synopsis: An aspiring young director rampages against the art created by her mother’s generation. A nubile young actor 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 F*CKING BIRD will tickle, tantalize, and incite you to consider how art, love, and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.
