The Pierce College Theater Department’s production of Aaron Posner’s “Stupid Fucking Bird” premiered this weekend, and has people talking about more than just the title.

Love triangles, temptation and betrayals, the play takes place on the grounds of a lakefront home where the characters go through an emotional ride based on Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull.”

According to theater manager Michael Sande, the contemporary piece was written in 2013, and has been on the theater department’s list since its release.

Sande told the Roundup that this play was chosen because he wanted his students to become familiar with the complicated playwright Chekhov. His plays are classic and older, but the theme remains the same.

“Stupid Fucking Bird” runs through Oct. 29 at the Pierce College Dow Arena Theatre. Tickets are available through www. brownpapertickets.com. Read review on front page.
