Exit, Pursued By A Bear at Theatre Wesleyan

Ashley H. White, the Artistic Director of Fort Worth’s Circle Theatre, will serve as guest director for Theatre Wesleyan’s production of the Lauren Gunderson play, Exit, Pursued By A Bear.

In Exit, Pursued By A Bear, 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 dancer named Sweetheart, she tapes Kyle to a chair and forces him to watch as they reenact scenes from their painful past. In the pièce de résistance, they plan to cover the room in meat and honey so Kyle will be mauled by a bear. This dark revenge comedy is a night of emotional trials and ridiculous theatrics.

Exit, Pursued By A Bear contains adult themes and language, and is produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.

Ashley is directing Exit, Pursued By A Bear by special arrangement with Circle Theatre and Stage Directors and Choreographers Society.
