STUPID F**KING BIRD Comes to The Circuit Playhouse

An aspiring young director rampages against the art created by his mother's generation. A desirable 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. This irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Chekhov's The Seagull has original songs that draw the inner thoughts of the characters you are sure to consider how art, love, and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.

Associate Company Member Conor Finnerty-Esmonde (Heathers: The Musical, Once) tackles the roles of the young director, Con. Joining Mr. Finnerty-Esmonde is Claire Clauson (Heathers: The Musical, Perfect Arrangement) as Nina, Jamie Boller (Shakespeare in Love, King Charles III) as Masha, Gabe Beutel-Gunn (Shakespeare in Love, Disgraced) is Trig, and Ron Gephart (Hot l Baltimore) is Sorn. Stupid F**king Bird is directed by Anita Jo Lenhart (Bad Jews).
