Running Bear
by Hyde Park Theatre
Jun. 16 - Jul. 16, 2022
Thursdays-Saturdays
Lucas has amassed the coveted middle-aged-man spoils: an adoring wife, a devoted son, a successful-but-not excessive career. His return to his hometown for professional recognition promises to be a well-earned victory lap.
Emily seeks solitude and relief from the weight of the world hoisted on her 17-year-old shoulders. Her impulsive retreat to a deserted bridge seems like a passable, if not ideal, solution.
When they intersect on the footbridge Lucas designed, Emily and Lucas are forced to resolve the impasse by confronting past traumas and fading dreams.
Directed by Rosalind Faires
