Exit, Pursued by a Bear


  • McMurry University 1400 Sayles Boulevard Abilene, TX, 79605 United States (map)

“Exit, Pursued by a Bear" a dark comedy, directed by senior theatre major Graci Melbourne.  Shows run Jan. 27-29 in Ryan Little Theatre.

Nan has decided to teach her abusive husband Kyle a lesson. With the help of her friend Simon (acting as her emotional -- and actual -- cheerleader) and a stripper named Sweetheart, she tapes Kyle to a chair and forces him to watch as they reenacts scenes from their painful past. In the piece de resistance, they plan to cover the room in meat and honey so Kyle will be mauled by a bear. Through this night of emotional trials and ridiculous theatrics, Nan and Kyle are both freed from their past in this smart, dark revenge comedy.
