Verge Theater Announces December Programming

Verge Theatre has announced its programming for December 2016. See a full season schedule below:

Main Stage

Jimmy's First Christmas on Parole
Verge Theater is reprising local playwright and funny man Ryan Cassavaugh's hilarious holiday farce.

Jimmy has just been released from the State Prison after serving time for a "crime of passion". All he wants is to pick up life where it was interrupted 18 months prior, but life on the outside hasn't remained static. His brother Donnie lives in a state of confusion and paranoia brought on by recreational drug use; Marcie (the cougar next door) has waged war on discretion; his sister-in-law Jackie is in need of a life; his other brother Eddie has finally made a life; his estranged wife Debbie is acting strangely; his mother wants to wake up from this awful dream that is her family; and his parole officer just wants to know where the hell Jimmy is!

If you think Christmas with your family is tough, come and get a dose of hilarious hi-jinx as Jimmy attempts to unravel his family and place them back into the neat packages he desires after months in the slammer. Then again, perhaps life behind bars with strangers was better than a holiday with his family!

Don't miss this funny, holiday adventure that runs at 8pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from Dec. 8 - 17. Tix are $14 and can be purchased online at vergetheater.com, or in person at Cactus Records in downtown Bozeman. Verge Theater is located at 2304 N. 7th Ave, at the heart of the extremely hilarious North End of Bozeman.

IMPROV MONDAY NIGHTS

Recover from your weekend with Improv Comedy! Join us as we offer up a Monday Night sacrifice of the most daring, death defying type of live theater there is: Improv! We call it Improv on the Verge! Improv Monday Nights feature The Bozeman Improverts who will beguile you with their laser-like wits, sharp tongues, and obnoxiously large heads.

These masterful, main stage players improvise sketches built around audience suggestions, play improv games similar to those you see on Who's Line Is It Anyway, and perform long form improv that is basically making up short plays on the spot. You have to experience this to believe it!! It's a mere $7 to get in and laugh like hell at our team of S.W.A.T. trained Improv Players. (S.W.A.T. = SouthWest Alternative Theater). Our upcoming shows are on December 5 and 19. Shows begins at 7pm. Reservations can be made online at vergetheater.com or in person at Cactus Records in Downtown Bozeman. Verge Theater is located at 2304 N. 7th Ave, across from Murdoch's, on the extremely hysterical North Side of Bozeman.

Family Stage

A Little House Christmas

James DeVita has written a heart warming story for the holidays, based on the Books by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Eight days before Christmas, the Ingalls (Pa, Ma, Mary and Laura) have invited some folks to dinner to celebrate completion of their new home. The guests include Laura's nemesis, the stuck-up Nellie Oleson and her mother Mrs. Oleson; the rambunctious mountain man Edwards; two of the Ingalls girls' cousins, Nick and Peter; and Pa's younger brother George, who ran away at 14 to join the Army as a drummer boy in the Civil War. The happy gathering includes stories and dancing until a freakishly severe early winter thunderstorm brings the celebration to an end.

Will the guest make it home safely? Will the Ingalls family be able to get to town for supplies? And most importantly to the Ingalls girls, will Santa be able to make it across the swollen creek to deliver presents?

Bring the whole family out for this Christmas Tale of fun and adventure. The show runs at 2pm on Saturdays from Nov. 26-Dec. 17. Reservations can be made online at vergetheater.com, or in person at Cactus Records in downtown Bozeman. Verge Theater is located at the Family Friendly North end of Bozeman, at 2304 N. 7th Ave, across from Murdoch's.
