Production Tips for
Bungee Jump Bear Trap
by Lindsay Price
Risk comes in many forms (skateboarding without a helmet) and fears (raising your hand in class). There are dumb risks (don’t bungee jump into a bear trap) and smart risks. Sometimes you need to leap without knowing what the outcome will be.
Is safety really as simple as duct taping pillows all over your body and never going outside? Join the characters in this vignette play as they try to figure it all out.
Seriously though, stay away from bear traps.

Tips from past Producers
The flexible casting in this script really suited our group. This play also has a very simple set - essentially just three stage blocks and one large cardboard cut-out - which makes it easy to stage even if you do not have an ideal performance space. The playwright even provides "low-tech" lighting and sound options in the script, which makes this accessible to groups with a broad range of resources.
