LIKE A MOTHER BEAR

World Premiere: Runs Through November 17, 1996

Searching for healing, a woman fights her way through a maze of doctors, nutritionists, psychics and even an Elvis-impersonating acupuncturist to finally discover the great "Bear Mother" of the imagination. To her own amazement, she finds herself traveling from the bear den of dreams to the Alaskan tundra where she meets the very real bear of the endangered North American Wilderness. In this groundbreaking work by A Traveling Jewish Theatre member Helen Stoltzfus, the possibility of healing lies only in linking the mythic, personal, and natural worlds.
