There Will be Bears, written by Ava Love Hanna, features rich metaphors and snappy dialogue. Baylee Shlichtmans whimsical comedy, Witch Queen: A Snow White reimagining, turns a classic fairy tale on its head. Kitchen Conversations, written by Kris Thompson, examines the intersection of joy and grief.New Manifest Theatre Company has showcased over 14 new short plays in the past three years. For Minifests Creative Lead, Mia King, producing new works is vital to the future of theatre. Contemporary plays give us a glimpse into the lives of our neighbors, so that we can learn to consider someone else's lived experience, King said. This year's Minifest selections center on universal themes of embracing loved ones, navigating the curveballs of life, and taking a stand for what you believe in.
