    Utterly beautiful writing, the imagery and lyrical quality of the piece allows this story to come alive with radiance. The characters and the history of the piece are so engaging, you can't help but fall in love with it. Wonderful!

  • Cheryl Bear: FUKT

    A braver story has not been told. The heart and integrity beams through, the one who feels compelled to help others by raising their voice for those who don't have one. For the greater good, every stone has been unturned with sheer beauty and truth. There are no words to express value of the gift that has been given. All I can say is thank you for writing it.

  • Cheryl Bear: Man & Wife

    Astonishing. The cookie-cutter wedding toppers and board game of "Life" never really is. Behind the family Christmas card or the 'photo-in-the frame' placeholder, are the real human beings and relationships of complexity what is often muted to not disturb the paradigm. Powerful and dynamic, this play holds so much life. Yet it's so richly comical and a sheer delight, I can't express how much I enjoyed this play. Yes, yes and yes!

  • Cheryl Bear: WHORTICULTURE

    "If I were a man." The prejudices against women and the overwhelming waters of sexuality and the pressure to conform these prejudices are tackled with fierce and unapologetic strength. Powerful and vital!

  • Cheryl Bear: ZEN & the Art of Mourning a Mother

    There are no accidents. Our lives are connected and until we begin to construct the puzzle our reality isn't complete. Woven together through generations, complex relationships are unbound in a powerful and heart-felt piece of theatre. Brilliantly and beautifully executed, we never leave these characters for a second. The kind of piece where no viewer/reader will leave this play the same. Brilliant and beautiful piece of work. Wonderful!

  • Cheryl Bear: TAMAR, The Two-Gated City

    It's astonishing how we have been raised to deliberately turn a blind eye to so many horrors in not impede an agenda. Often we may be dissuaded from asking too many questions, a cover-up if you will. Witty and quick, we delve into the #MeToo stories in the Bible that have somehow been turned into romantic tales. Unapologetic in the quest for truth and justice, the time has come for women to be heard and for them to create a new house. Magnificent and ground-breaking piece of theatre!

  • Cheryl Bear: Why Birds Fly

    Brilliant work. Expertly crafted, we explore the relationship between two women and the secret that lies beneath. The structure allows for so much play and experimentation, physicality and movement. An enrapturing horror / tragedy that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Wow. Extraordinary!

  • Cheryl Bear: ABRAHAM'S DAUGHTERS

    Beautifully written, the story of two halves of one family struggling to decide to come together or fervently resist. Split between an eager desire for understanding or a refusal to change one's point of view and hear the other side out of fear that ones reality will be altered or that something may be taken away. Heart wrenching and poetically composed, a brilliant piece of theatre. Yes, this needs to be seen. Excellent.

  • Cheryl Bear: Perfect Women

    So brilliantly written! The dialogue is so real, we are transported back in time to the school bus of the teenage years. Identity, discovery, sexuality, bullying, and self-harm are all tackled perfectly. Through the use of fantasy and role playing, we're taking on an adventure which aids in delving into these deeper waters with humor. Absolutely vital issues are addressed. An excellent piece of theatre that is a gift to our youth and their parents. Bravo!

  • Cheryl Bear: Antigone's Sister

    This is EVERYTHING. Sorry to be blunt, but I enjoyed this so much. The kind of play you want to read over and over and can't seem to put down. It's such an incredible gift to the actors and to the audience to learn about these characters in this way. Forgive me for being a bit of a nerd, but this is how you make history engaging and come alive. A true gift! LOVE!
