Stupid f*cking Bird
Feb 27 – Mar 27

Written by Aaron Posner
Directed by Howard Shalwitz

“This splendid, irreverent adaptation is certainly a refreshing splash of cool water.” - The DCist

In this irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Chekhov’s The Seagull, award-winning playwright Aaron Posner wages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all: an aspiring young director rampages against the art created by his mother’s generation; a nubile young actress wrestles with an aging Hollywood star for the affections of a renowned novelist; and everyone discovers just how disappointing growing up can be. Winner of the Helen Hayes Awards for Outstanding Resident Play and Outstanding New Play or Musical.

Ages: Stupid F***ing Bird is recommended for ages 16+; contains mature language (surprise!), fleeting nudity, loaded guns and theater people. The actors in this production will be using tobacco-free herbal cigarettes. Children under 6 are not permitted at any PCS production.
