STUPID FUCKING BIRD

By Aaron Posner
Sort of Adpated from The Seagull by Anton Chekov
Directed by Theodore Swetz
Co-Produced with UMKC Theatre
The Levin Stage

October 18 – November 12, 2017

An aspiring director, a beautiful young actress, an aging Hollywood star and a famous author discover the messed up joys and thrilling heartbreaks of the struggle to create new art. In this hilarious re-imagining of Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, Aaron Posner pits two tangled generations of star-crossed lovers against each other in the search for love and true meaning. With original songs, boundary-crossing innovation, and irreverent wit, Stupid Fucking Bird gives the finger to one classic play.
