RESOLUTIONS, Improv Mondays, and More Coming to Verge Theater in January

See what's going on in January at the Verge Theater!

Tales from the Verge: Resolutions
"Resolutions" will feature a collection of Bozemanites recounting true stories from their lives in front of a live audience. Touching, funny, embarrassing, exciting, thought-provoking and entirely true, host Ryan Cassavaugh and friends will explore the evening's theme of "Resolutions" in a series of short stories they never intended to tell in public.

Join us January 12-14 at 8pm to start out the New Year with some amazing stories told by amazing community members! Reservations are $14 and can be purchased online at vergetheater.com, or in person at Cactus Records in downtown Bozeman. You can find us at 2304 N. 7th Ave, across from Murdoch's, at the extremely funny 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 January 16 and 30. 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.

6th Annual All Original Comedy Revue
Directed by Erin Roberg in the style of SNL, Second City, and The Groundlings, these Verge kooks fine tune the funny towards all things laughable to create an all original sketch comedy show written by the cast!
This year the actors are working with the theme of Alternative Realities (because who in their right mind wants to take part in our present reality) and Dystopian Dreamscapes (because it seems like we should be prepared), so come and laugh yourself into a new year!

Saturday Night Live is for nonagenarians (that's people in their 90's). Second City is for Midwesterners. Our All Original Comedy Revue is for YOU! Make a good decision and come on out to Verge Theater for some post-Holiday Season laughter. The 6th Annual, All Original Comedy Revue runs on Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, from Jan. 27-Feb. 11. All tix are $14 and are available online at vergetheater.com or in person at Cactus Records in downtown Bozeman. Verge Theater is located at 2304 N. Rouse, across from Murdoch's. Or as we like to refer to it, the Extremely Original North end of Bozeman.
