The Bear, Every Time, written by Carrie Keating and co-directed with Alyson Schacherer, will be presented at the 2025 Queen's Short Play Festival. It is the first public showing of the play's development with ToastCo, a NYC based performing arts collective. The piece features hilarious and heartfelt performances from Sydney Mayo and Alex Correia.
In this surreal dark comedy, a woman comes across a bear in the woods after choosing the bear as her response to the viral question, "Would you rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear?" Together, they grapple with the question and her answer.
The festival is presented by The Secret Theatre, a leading professional theatrical company in Queens. The Bear, Every Time runs in Program H, with performances taking place on February 15th, February 21st, February 27th, and March 2nd.
