Ye Bear & Ye Cubb follows an unlikely troupe of actors as they perform the first known English-language play in North America - and navigate the trial it sparks. This world premiere transports the audience to a colonial tavern, to drink, sew and examine the roots of the American theatre.
"A fantasia on colonial themes...warm and inclusive [attitude] toward the audience" -- The New York Times "This obscure bit of American history that pre-dates the First Amendment serves as inspiration for No.11 Productions’ Ye Bear & Ye Cubb, a lively and fun tribute to the spirit of “the artists and the work that we don’t know and the names that never got written down." -- Michael Dale, OnStage Blog "This was a rollicking good time with some poignant aspects and much to ponder long afterwards" -- Eva Heinemann, Hi! Drama "It was simple, elegiac, moving, and thought-provoking, all at once" -- Lisa Ramaci, Hi! Drama |

Development of this new play was made possible in part thanks to a space grant from Inception to Exhibition. |
