Verge Theater Brings Energy and Laughs In November
By: Rebecca Russo Oct. 18, 2017
For more than 20 years, we at Verge Theater have been bringing live entertainment and theater education to the Gallatin Valley. One of our proudest accomplishments is the Teen Theater Program, an inspiring and exciting after-school program that is the perfect place for creative teens. Three times per season we offer this intensive workshop experience, and our Fall session is traditionally devoted to a musical involving teens in grades 6-12. The teens have been working with Director Liam Mayer and Assistant Director Jaelyn Silvey (two former Teen Theater participants themselves!) since September to create another exciting show!
So in November, we will produce yet another huge musical on our tiny stage as our incredible Teen Theater program challenges these talented teens with the hilarious and madcap antics aboard an ocean liner in Anything Goes. The story concerns Billy Crocker, a stowaway on an ocean liner bound from New York to London, who is in love with heiress Hope Harcourt, who is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. Nightclub singer Reno Sweeney and Public Enemy #13 Moonface Martin aid Billy in his quest to win Hope's heart. The musical introduced such Cole Porter favorites as Anything Goes, You're the Top, and I Get a Kick Out of You. With shows running Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm and Sundays at 2pm, for 2 weekends from Nov. 3-12, Verge Theater is spotlighting these 25 talented teens who bring a ton of energy to their performances and leave it all on the stage!! Tickets for Anything Goes are $7 in advance (vergetheater.com or in person at Cactus Records) or $9 at the door.
The Bozeman Improverts are back for Improv On The Verge Monday nights. The Improverts give the biggest laughs for the fewest bucks! Guaranteed to be a hilarious start to your week. Popular Improv games are played in the style of the TV show "Whose Line is it Anyway?" as well as long form Improv. Everything is created on the spot and based on audience suggestions. Upcoming shows are November 6 & 20 at 7pm. Tickets for Improv are $7 in advance (vergetheater.com or in person at Cactus Records) or $9 at the door.
