The Bear, Every Time
Written by Carrie Keating
In this surreal dark comedy, a woman comes across a bear in the woods after choosing it as her response to the viral question, "Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear?” Together, in this hypothetical forest, they grapple with the question and her answer. As the woman and the bear struggle to survive, their encounter becomes an exploration of violence, gender norms, intention, and action.
Jungle Restaurant
Written by Eliana Cohen-Orth and Sam Melton
Jungle Restaurant is a comedy about nostalgia, environmentalism, and eating at a novelty restaurant under a time constraint. Peggy has the perfect place for dinner. Her band needs to grab some food before their gig, and what better place than Jungle Restaurant, the location of her favorite childhood memories? As the four band members (and one band member's dad) try to survive the jungle-themed hijinks, they must explore what it means to become an adult during a climate crisis and resist the urge to return to the primordial soup.
