With a unique focus in the disciplines of clown, circus, dance, puppetry, and movement, The Eccentric Bear Theater Co. is built by people who love theater and reject artistic snobbery. We believe that art is not a privilege, and from process to finished product we strive to disrupt the mundane and ignite the imaginations of our audiences and artists alike.

​

access.
Eccentric Bear aims to demystify the process of creating theater and is committed to building a culture of transparency around our creative process. We will provide clear communication about the physical accessibility of spaces we inhabit, give preference to accessible spaces when available to us, and work to ensure that cost is not a barrier between our art and our audiences.

  ​​​ ​

integrity.
We will create working environments that put people first and maintain clearly defined, publicly accessible courses of action in the event that harassment or discrimination should occur within our organization.

play.
We believe in the transformative power of guided, intentional play to create community and drive creativity.

joy.
Joy is the center of our process. Theater has the potential to be tragic, challenging, and at times even hard to watch. But in its making, through all stages of production, we will always challenge ourselves to approach our work with a spirit of joy.
