The cast of Ye Bear & Ye Cubb will include Amara J.

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!

The performance schedule for Ye Bear & Ye Cubb is as follows: Tuesday - Saturday at 7:30pm, Saturday - Sunday at 2:30pm.
