They’re family. That doesn’t make it easy.

On the outskirts of a small Idaho town, an aunt and nephew who barely know each other find themselves sharing a house after a sudden loss. She’s blunt, guarded, and set in her routines. He’s grieving, adrift, and not sure why he came back. As they sort through a lifetime of things left behind, conversation comes slowly. Then all at once. What emerges isn’t resolution but it’s real and it’s what they need.

Little Bear Ridge Road is a spare, quietly funny play about grief, distance, and the uneasy work of letting another person in.
