Directed by Michael Stevenson

An aspiring young director rages 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 love, art, and growing up can be. In this irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Chekhov's classic play The Seagull, Aaron Posner stages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all.

"Angsty, raw, and real, this play does not shy away from the hard, but well-discussed philosophical questions about art, reality, love and life and what it all means." Broadway World

 "...An accessible and unfailingly delightful jaunt into misery (or maybe we should say compromised happiness)...It's absorbing in its every glance and revealing in its every sigh."  Washington City Paper

"STUPID FUCKING BIRD, like The Seagull before it, demands a realer theater...It is an act of historical importance to tear theater down in order to have it start anew."  DC Theatre Scene

"...A refreshing splash of cool water on dry, well-trod terrain...STUPID FUCKING BIRD is what you get from a writer who not only adores the material he's adapting, but understands it precisely." DCist
