UW-Superior theatre stages contemporary reimagining of 'The Seagull'
UW-Superior's Theatre Department continues its 2026-27 season with 'Stupid F***ing Bird,' Aaron Posner's contemporary reworking of Chekhov's 'The Seagull,' running Nov. 19-22 in Superior.
The University of Wisconsin-Superior Theatre Department will stage 'Stupid F***ing Bird,' a contemporary reimagining of Anton Chekhov's 'The Seagull,' as the next production of its 2026-27 season.
Performances are set for 7 p.m. Nov. 19-21, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Nov. 22, in the Experimental Theater Lab at the Holden Fine and Applied Arts Center, 1805 Catlin Ave. in Superior.
The production is directed by UW-Superior student Andy Hill, a biology major with a theatre minor who graduates this spring. Hill said the minimal set puts the focus on the characters' relationships and on direct interaction with the audience.
Written by Aaron Posner, the play follows a group of artists, lovers and dreamers and blends comedy, heartbreak and direct audience engagement in a modern take on love, art and the search for meaning.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and $5 for students with a valid UW-Superior ID, available at the Holden Fine Arts Center box office, online, or by reservation at 715-394-8369.
