It was announced today that Little Bear Ridge Road, produced by Scott Rudin and Barry Diller, will debut on Broadway this fall.
The new play by Samuel D. Hunter will premiere on Broadway for a limited 18-week run. Performances will begin on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, ahead of a Thursday, October 30 opening night at Broadway’s Booth Theatre.
Little Bear Ridge Road will star Laurie Metcalf and Micah Stock, reprising their acclaimed performances from the production’s smash-hit world premiere at The Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Rounding out the company from the initial run at Steppenwolf Theatre are John Drea as James and Meighan Gerachis as Paulette.
With direction by Joe Mantello, the design team for Little Bear Ridge Road includes Scott Pask (scenic design), Jessica Pabst (costume design), Heather Gilbert (lighting design), and Mikhail Fiksel (sound design).
On the remote outskirts of a small Idaho town, a razor-tongued aunt and her long-estranged nephew find themselves suddenly back in each other’s orbit—two lonely souls with a crumbling house to sell and a tangled history to unravel. Bitingly funny and quietly explosive, Little Bear Ridge Road is a sharply etched portrait of two people reaching across emotional galaxies—searching for meaning and fumbling toward connection, even as they fear it might swallow them whole. In this piercing and profound new play, the void is vast, the stars are indifferent, and love—messy, human, and hard-won—might be the only thing tethering us to Earth.
