MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS WILL HELP US CONTINUE PROVIDING A CREATIVE SANCTUARY FOR ARTISTS AND SHARING OUR SIGNATURE THEATRE PARTIES WITH YOU, OUR INVITED GUESTS

The Need

We believe theatre artists, like dancers and athletes, need practice to continue developing their craft. We also believe audiences, as much as artists, crave a community to call their own, a home that fuses social interaction with unique theatrical experience.

The Work

The studio commits to development work in three tiers: potluck readings of raw material, week-long play development workshops structured by the playwright, fully rehearsed Labs of work never before seen in New York. Artists and audiences are not charged to participate in any of our activities.

The Love

At EPBB, we want everyone to feel like they're amongst old friends. Whether an EPBB artist is taking your coat, or sharing a bite during our dinner intermissions, our theatre parties give every invited guest and artist a chance to get to know each other in the comfort of our uniquely domestic performance space.

The Future

Throughout Season 2, EPBB will be taking steps towards becoming a full 501(c)(3) non-profit, so we can continue to present accessible, provocative, socially immersive theatre into Season 3 and beyond. EPBB is committed to being a literal and figurative home for its artists and audiences for many years to come.

Exit, Pursued by a Bear is a creative gym for emerging artists and a unique home theater experience for invited guests.
