Responses to THE BEAR

Hi everyone,

We are disappointed to have had to cancel our second Zoom performance of THE BEAR by Anton Chekhov, directed by Bryan Hickey, especially in light of last week’s stellar performances by Corinne Niox Chateau, Kip Gilman and Bryan Hickey on March 29th, 2021.

Given the success of that first show, we anticipated no technical difficulties. To our dismay, we encountered glitches we could not assume would be corrected in time for the performance, and consequently made the difficult decision to cancel. We hope to revisit this wonderful work with our fine cast before long.

Thank you to every person who checked in to make sure no one was hurt or had fallen unwell.  It is a pleasure to be part of a community that cares. 👏👏
