Cast Announced for STUPID F*CKING BIRD at ACT

ACT - A Contemporary Theatre presents Stupid f-ing Bird by Aaron Posner, where Chekhov's story of love, art, and a hapless bird gets a remarkable contemporary face lift. On the grounds of a country estate, two generations worth of Russians mope and love and hate in this heartbreaking, hilarious, sort-of-adaptation of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull. Winner of the 2014 Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding New Play, Stupid f-ing Bird is about our longing to love and be loved.

Stupid f-ing Bird features the talents of Suzanne Bouchard as Emma, Keiko Green as Mash, MJ Sieber as Dev, Jasmine Jean Sim as Nina, Adam Standley as Con, G. Valmont Thomas as Sorn, and Connor Toms as Trig. The creative team includes Jessica Kubzansky (Director), Martin Christoffel (Scenic Designer), Heidi Zamora (Costume Designer), Rick Paulsen (Lighting Designer), and Robertson Witmer (Sound Designer).

Keiko Green, Jasmine Jean Sim, G. Valmont Thomas, and Connor Toms are part of ACT's Core Company. The Core Company is one of John Langs' first initiatives as ACT's new Artistic Director. Each year, a group of actors will join ACT in a year-long creative endeavor, performing and contributing as artistic ambassadors to ACT's Mainstage season.
