THE BEAR presents: UNDER CONSTRUCTION - Stories from the messy middle

About this Event

## THE BEAR presents an open stage ## 🛠️ UNDER CONSTRUCTION **Stories from the messy middle** January is the season of the unfinished. At THE BEAR, we celebrate true, personal stories that live in the in-between... ... stories of repair, rebuilding, and reinvention. Stories held together with metaphorical duct tape.
