On the remote outskirts of a small Idaho town, a razor-tongued aunt and her long-estranged nephew find themselves suddenly back in each other’s orbit—two lonely souls with a crumbling house to sell and a tangled history to unravel. Bitingly funny and quietly explosive, Little Bear Ridge Road is a sharply etched portrait of two people reaching across emotional galaxies—searching for meaning and fumbling toward connection, even as they fear it might swallow them whole. In this piercing and profound new play, the void is vast, the stars are indifferent, and love — messy, human, and hard-won — might be the only thing tethering us to Earth.

Little Bear Ridge Road marks the seventh collaboration between director Joe Mantello and Laurie Metcalf, who returns to Broadway for the seventh time in 10 years.
Little Bear Ridge Road is praised by the Chicago Sun-Times as “a deeply beautiful piece of writing…aching in its intense empathy for the characters.” Metcalf “all but rips the roof off the theater” (Wall Street Journal), opposite Micah Stock, who “[doesn’t just] hold his own with one of the best stage artists of [Metcalf’s] generation—he brings out the best in her” (Chicago Tribune). With Mantello at the helm, the production is “everything theatre should be” (Chicago On Stage) – he “knows the art of acting as well as any director working today” (Wall Street Journal).
