Greg Burdick: Alice, Pursued by a Bear

Anxiety can be crippling. In Haas’ psychological short, she successfully captures the torturous inner dialogue understood all too well by anyone battling it. Alice’s coping mechanism gets the better of her, and sadly short circuits her ability to live life fully. She’ll scale heights, but only those with measured risk... and the bear, no matter how cute and cuddly, will always win. It’s more adaptable than Alice. The play challenges us to silence those voices robbing us from adventure and the wild abandon of impulse in our own lives. Unique, fresh storytelling.
