### THE BEAR presents: RECIPROCITY

Stories of Give & Take
Saturday, December 6 | Nikolaus Night at Theatre Pool

What does it mean to give? What does it mean to receive? And what happens when those two don’t quite balance?
On this special Nikolaus evening, we explore stories of connection - the push and pull, the generosity, the tension, the unexpected gifts life returns.

Expect true, personal stories from eight storytellers, lively audience moments, live music, and that familiar BEAR-energy of warmth and community.

## 🎟️ Come listen, feel, and celebrate the season of giving - one story at a time.
