Big Bear Performing Arts & Theatre

This is the season that reminds us why theater exists. For 2025 The Big Bear Theater Project will offer something rare and essential: a chance to gather, to feel, to reflect—and to be transformed. This year, we invite you to experience five unforgettable productions that blur the lines between stage and soul, mixing theater, film, music, and memory in bold, breathtaking ways. From world premieres to fresh adaptations, these are stories that matter—stories that speak to this
moment.

This season, we lean in even further, with plays that explore legacy, justice, connection, motherhood, grief, magic, and resilience. It’s raw, immersive, and unforgettable.

Thanks to your support and the dedication of our volunteers, we’re building a regional theater that is as extraordinary as our landscape: creative, inclusive, and enduring.
