Cast Set For the Premiere of TRANSGRESSION at The White Bear Theatre

January 09, 2024

The cast has been announced for the premiere of Transgression at the White Bear Theatre. It’s the 1990s and the societal revolution to smash the nuclear family is on the horizon. A psychoanalyst battles against the demise of established traditions, while younger women debate pregnancy and the relevance of a father’s name on a birth certificate.
