Setting: Fowkes Tavern, the Colony of Virginia, 1665. Inspired by a dream (and a few drinks), a ragtag troupe of amateur thespians put on a play. A bear waxes poetic, a cannon explodes, and the American Theater is born.
Based on historical court records, No.11 Productions’ brand new play YE BEAR & YE CUBB drops the fourth wall, immersing audiences in a colonial tavern for a high-octane reimagining of the first known English-language play in North America — and the trial it ignites.
Grab a pint and sharpen your sewing skills; this little bear is going to cause quite an affair.
Join in on the fun! Each performance of YE BEAR & YE CUBB has three Tavern Seats available on stage that include a drink and a craft project!
YE BEAR & YE CUBB is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement, a regrant program supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by LMCC.
Post-show talkbacks will be held after the 2:30 performances on December 10, 17, and 18.
