Theatre Production Auditions! Exit, Pursued by a Bear

EXIT, PURSUED BY A BEAR by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by William Irwin, Associate Professor of Theatre – wirwin@umich.edu

Exit, Pursued by a Bear is a fast-paced, biting comedy about Nan Carter, a woman who is done with her abusive husband and plans to leave him in the most dramatic way possible—with the help of her friends and a very hungry bear. This play is a dark comedy that blends humor with powerful themes of revenge, redemption, heartbreak, and finding one’s voice.
