B E A R | Before there were stages, there were bedrooms.

Before there were audiences, there were teddy bears lined up on the floor.

They watched every made-up performance, every big dream, every moment we imagined what this might one day become.

Today, they got front-row seats again. 🧸✨

And somehow, that little dream doesn’t feel so little anymore.
