Meet Your Producer!
A professional indie theatre collective, Bear & Co. performs indoors and out. We travel light, delivering peak power from our artists in a lean setting. We tour Shakespeare to parks across Ottawa and beyond, with sword fights, fire dances, glorious text, and soaring music. We come indoors at The Gladstone with thoughtful productions of classic shows, intriguing new works, and tributes honouring Canada’s musical giants.
Bear’s guiding principle is “compelling theatre, close to home.”
