About
BEAR IN THE LIMELIGHT
"Bear in the Limelight" is a captivating and humorous solo theater piece that follows the journey of a classically trained actress who, after struggling to find work in her desired field, decides to take an unexpected job as a Bear mascot. This 30-minute performance explores the clash between the actress's training and the challenges of embodying a larger-than-life character.
Through a combination of physicality, expressive storytelling, and moments of vulnerability, the actress takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, as she navigates the ups and downs of her unlikely career choice. The show touches on themes of identity, acceptance, perseverance, and the transformative power of stepping outside one's comfort zone.
After the performance, there is a 30-minute reception where audiences have the opportunity to mingle and take pictures with the Bear mascot.
