New Thing. #31: Big Bear (play)

I stopped hy The Elysian Theater last night to check out Big Bear, a new play about a group of college friends on their annual trip; it’s the final morning of the trip and things fall apart as truths are unveiled and the friends start to realize that maybe their collegiate friendships have run their course.
It’s a very funny play and is the kind of thing that I feel like a streaming service should live stream or just record for content. On the same note, it’s astonishing to me that no streaming service has picked up an improv show to stream. Obviously, there are countless improv performances out there and in LA, there are quite a few with recognizable actors; I have to imagine there could be a way to do a low budget livestream. Of course, it doesn’t seem like there’s a single streaming service that is being run by a person with an ounce of creativity; hell, they can’t even successfully rip-off what YouTube and TikTok are doing.
