In 1985, a drug smuggler dropped a shipment of cocaine from his plane. It landed in the Chattahoochee–Oconee National Forest, where an American black bear found and ate it. In Cocaine Bear: The Opera, an only moderately dramatized version of events, the aforementioned bear then proceeds to enjoy a drug-fueled rampage filled with murder, mayhem, and Mozart. Cocaine Bear: The Opera is written and directed by Orlando Fringe Festival favorite, veteran director and storyteller, Eric Pinder (Driving Miss Cherry Blossom, Waiting For Napoleon), and also features the extraordinary vocal talent of Maeghin Mueller, David Lee Smith, Jose-Manuel Lopez, Jessica Hoehn, and Christie Duffer. Pinder promises the same “wildly entertaining and darkly hilarious B-movie blood-fest” as the 2023 film - but this time, there’s singing!
The production will travel through the scientific method with a metaphoric bottleneck effect including musical montages, drag queen solos, dialogue and monologues in a modern world while bar patrons find themselves trapped in a bar with formidable internal and external adversaries for 6-7 hours over 60 minutes with no intermissions.
7 strangers trapped in a bar on a stormy night trying to find Mr. Whiskers and their humanity. Will they stay lost or make it out of the bottle alive?
