I’m delighted to invite you to the Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble’s (IRTE’s) production at the Asheville Fringe Arts Festival this month! As a guest performer with the troupe, I’m excited about bringing IRTE’s unique brand of theater to North Carolina from our home in The Big Apple, New York City. Our production of … Happy Birthday, Stupid Kid! … … is an improvised, interactive birthday party where Jamie McCluskey (Bill Berg) is turning 12, and the audience is invited to join the celebration. There are games, goodie bags, a birthday cake, and plenty of mayhem, because it’s the adults who are out of control in this theatrical production. You'll get to join in the yucks while the performers (Evie Aronson, Bill Berg, Nannette Deasy, Sam Katz, and Jamie Maloney) create, right on the stage, the over-the-top antics of the McCluskey family. The show takes place on … THURSDAY, January 26, 2017, 7:00pm & SATURDAY, January 28, 2017, 7:00pm Tickets: $13 General Admission The BeBe Theatre 20 Commerce Street Asheville, NC 28801 Happy Birthday, Stupid Kid! … is an original concept by IRTE producer Nannette Deasy.
