Grrrcadia

A unique blend of Tom Stoppard’s urbanity and Letterkenny’s fast-talking folksiness, Grrrcadia is a brainy, zany, and quick-witted comedy about succeeding as a woman in a patriarchal society, processing environmental collapse, and dealing with high-strung personalities (both thespian and ursine). 

The play takes place in Maine’s Acadia National Park, where the high summer season is in full swing. Visitors come from decently far and pretty wide to see sweeping views of the Atlantic from craggy stretches of winding coastline. But beneath the idyllic façade, the park froths with tensions, intrigues, and machinations among an overworked park manager, an eccentric theater director obsessed with the park’s cultural programming, a local lawyer turned amateur actor, two bumbling park rangers, and an insecure, aggressive, and slightly neurotic black bear who’s pissed.

Run time: 75 minutes
