After six years of thrilling New York audiences with their spontaneously created musicals — and one year in quarantine performing primarily for their pets — the legendary improv group Vern returns to the stage with a brand-new show.

Get ready for a fast-paced and hilarious exploration of musical theater tropes through improv comedy and singing — like a Disney-like duet between two inanimate objects to a classic “want song” sung from the point of view of an audience member. The climax of the show is a full musical with singing, dancing and a story right out of a Sondheim fever dream.

Get ready for an Off-Broadway musical, a bit more off than usual.

Watch as your favorite musical comedians create all the arts and entertainment you need - based on YOUR suggestions. Don't miss this!

Important Health & Safety

Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and NYC mandates, proof of vaccination is required for entry. Other guests must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of the performance start time, or a negative COVID-19 antigen test taken within 6 hours of the performance start time. There are no exceptions. A team of certified coronavirus response officers will be on hand for each performance. The Players Theatre has also added MERV-13 filters to their air system for added safety & filtration and have an additional air scrubber in the space. The whole cast of VERN has been fully vaccinated and patrons will be required to wear their mask during performance.

We're excited to perform again, but are also humans adjusting to this new norm. While we cannot guarantee anything, we wouldn't want to put anyone, including ourselves, in harms way.

We are very happy with the Covid Prevention Measures and Response by the Players Theatre and we hope you will be too. Thank you!
