Nan decides it's finally time to leave her abusive husband Kyle and make a run for it… but not until she's tied him up, surrounded him with venison meat and invited the neighborhood bear in for a snack. Oh, and she'll also need to re-enact scenes from their marriage alongside an actress/stripper with a passion for Shakespeare and her gay best friend, who brings cheerleading poms and sass to spare. EXIT, PURSUED BY A BEAR is a gut-busting, outrageous revenge comedy about dreams, healing and the simple joy of tying a dickhead to the living room chair.

The creative team for EXIT, PURSUED BY A BEAR includes: John Wilson (scenic design), Brenda Winstead (costume design), Mac Vaughey (lighting design), Jeff Kelley (sound design), Thea Wigglesworth (props design), Kyle Hamman (video design), Orion Couling (fight design), Adam Goldstein (dialect coach), Shauna Warren (stage manager) and Mike Dunbar (production manager).
