Stupid F*cking Bird faithfully captures the mournful spirit of Chekov’s heartbreaking comedy The Seagull, and its comic exploration of unrequited love, artistic disillusionment, and life’s absurd disappointments.  Aaron Posner’s script bursts out of the confines of Chekov’s quintessential realism by shattering the fourth wall with direct address, musical numbers, dance sequences, existential ruminations, and a lot more profanity.

The cast features Conor Hamill*  (Hamlet, dir Darko Tresnjak, at Harford Stage Company) Mel Mattos (SUMMER: The Donna Summer Musical), Nya Bowman* (Circando Picasso,  Martha Graham Dance Company), Jey Kennedy (Breaking Point, dir Jeff Celentano),  Timothy Wagner* (Fool for Love, Douglas Fairbanks Theatre), Haley Rice, and Trevor Markanovic.  

Theatre 4the People is an award winning company dedicated to bringing economically accessible theatre to audiences and developing a true diversity of emerging and established artists around the country.
