Artisans—WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU

Ages 4 and up

A story about friendship. Based on the children’s book by Smriti Prasadam-Halls & Steve Small.

Bear and Squirrel know each other well. Bear always knows where Squirrel’s treasures are hidden and what kind of music Squirrel really doesn’t like. Squirrel knows Bear’s favorite hiding spot and the trick for waking Bear up.
They do almost everything together, even though they’re so different. Things go well for a long time, but suddenly there’s a rift. A fight, and then silence. Squirrel is gone, and Bear is alone. But they can’t get by without each other—can they?

With subtle humor and without words, the Artisanen tell the story in their new play for children and adults about the challenges and joys of friendship, about being alone, and about how differences don’t have to be an obstacle.

Running time: 45 minutes
