Stupid Fucking Bird by Aaron Posner
Directed by J. Eric Dunlap
Production Dates: May 24 – June 15, 2019
Opening Night: Friday, May 24, 2019
Matinee: Sunday, June 2, 2019
A sort-of adaption of Chekhov’s The Seagull. This wonderfully fresh, raw, no-holds-barred play challenges the notion of what theatre was, is and could be. It doesn’t matter if you know Chekhov or not. SFB is a roller coaster of emotions from hysterical laughter, absolute anger, romantic lust, devastating sorrow and everything in between.
Cast
Con – Mathew Drake Young
Dev – Austin Heps
Mash – Alexandria Garrett
Nina – Sarah Jordan Stout
Emma – Melody Gray
Trig – Sean J. Ramos

-
- .Fun fact: Chekhov gave us the first instance of the distracted boyfriend meme (Sarah Jordan Stout as Nina, Sean J. Ramos as Trig, and Melody Gray as Emma).
-
- Dev tries to show Con the bright side of things, unsuccessfully (Austin Heps and Mathew Drake Young).
-
- There’s plenty of unrequited love to go around in this play (Sarah Jordan Stout, Mathew Drake Young, and Alexandria Garrett).
-
- Nina performs Con’s play for the group, even though they can’t understand or appreciate new forms of art (the cast of Stupid F***ing Bird).
