Little Bear Ridge Road

Four-time Emmy® and two-time Tony Award® winner Laurie Metcalf returns to Broadway opposite Tony Award® nominee Micah Stock in LITTLE BEAR RIDGE ROAD, the wry and piercing new play by Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale) directed by two-time Tony Award® winner Joe Mantello. This production marks Hunter’s Broadway debut and Metcalf and Mantello’s seventh collaboration.

Set on the remote edge of a small Idaho town, Little Bear Ridge Road centers on a razor-tongued aunt and her long-estranged nephew who find themselves suddenly back in each other’s lives—two lonely souls with a crumbling house to sell and a tangled history to unravel. Bitingly funny and quietly explosive, Little Bear Ridge Road lays bare our messy, human need to reach across voids for one another, even when it shakes us to the bone.

“One of the finest new plays of the year. [Laurie Metcalf] is one of the great stage actors of her generation.” – The Wall Street Journal
