“Little Bear Ridge Road” at TheaterWorks Hartford: Nov. 7 Matinee
In Samuel D. Hunter’s Little Bear Ridge Road, the possible sale of a deteriorating family home draws an estranged nephew and his aunt back into each other’s lives. TheaterWorks Hartford presents the play Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, at 2:30 p.m.
A house decision, and what comes with it
The property question gives the relatives a concrete reason to face one another, but the conflict reaches beyond what happens to the house. TheaterWorks describes the play as exploring family, isolation and the difficulty of reaching toward people one loves across a divide. The production is a Tony nominee for Best Play.
