The Bend in the Road Leads You Home

Rural Idaho. Difficult Memories. An estranged father’s house to sell.  From the acclaimed author of The Whale, Little Bear Ridge Road confronts issues as wide as galaxies and as intimate as family secrets.

After the death of his long-estranged father, Ethan returns to the tiny hometown he once escaped—only to find himself face to face with the only family he has left: his sharp-tongued, fiercely independent aunt. While cleaning up years of a failing family, the two are forced to confront old pain, unfinished conversations, and the orbit that keeps pulling them back to a place they want to leave.

At its core, Little Bear Ridge Road is a deeply human story about distance and return, silence and understanding, and the complicated ways families try—and sometimes struggle—to show up for each other, even when words fall short.

Due to the nature of the space, there is no late seating for performances in the Theatre Gym. Please let us know in advance if you can’t make it by curtain time, and we will work with you to change your ticket plan.

Content Warning: Little Bear Ridge Road contains mature themes and cautions for strong language, alcohol use, terminal llness, grief, and past drug addiction.
