PRISM PRESENTS: THE BEAR, BY ANTON CHEKHOV
PRISM is happy to welcome back Bryan Hickey and Corinne Niox Chateau, and to introduce the captivating Kip Gilman in this spirited take on Anton Chekhov’s one act relationship comedy: THE BEAR.
What to Expect
This is a live Zoom directed and rehearsed reading of the full one act!
When you register, save your confirmation email. It has your link to enter in it. On Monday, April 5 at 7pm Eastern/4pm Pacific, the first 100 registered persons to join will be able to get in. Your video and audio remain off till the end of the event. We will bring up a piece of music when the piece is wrapping, and then ask you to turn your video on and to meet the actors. (Does anyone else miss an in-person blackout or curtain close?)
What If The Connection Fails?
Thanks to our brave new technologically distanced world, expect to experience disconnections.
What does this mean? The video for an actor might freeze. The sound might temporarily distort. The actor may be temporarily disconnected and have to rejoin the room. Welcome to live theater on the internet, with artists gathering from across the country!
Hold a moment to let it pass.
If it doesn’t pass, trying having the email confirmation ready on your phone to get in that way.
You may also try plugging your computer in to strengthen the connection that way.
We will also post a copy of THE BEAR to Prism’s YouTube channel within 24-48 hours, and will share it with each person on the registration list via an email link. See you soon!

THE BEAR
By Anton Chekhov
A landlowner demands his rent, a grieving widow gets under his skin, and the only person supervising doesn’t like confrontation.
The Playwright Anton Chekhov
“I let myself go at the beginning and write with an easy mind, but by the time I get to the middle I begin to grow timid and to fear my story will be too long. . .
That is why the beginning of my stories is always very promising and looks as though I were starting on a novel, and the middle is huddled and timid, and the end is...like fireworks.”
“Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.”
