The role of the bear one would think is a male because of the bear size and the way the keeper speaks to the bear. The keeper kicks and calls the bear a son of a bitch. . The undetermined role of the kid one would believe it is a girl the way he’s gentle to her and tells her not to go out into the woods. On the other hand one would believe the kid is male the way he speaks aggressive to the kid and tells him what are you good at. The kids stated I can sew. The writer wants a gender-nonconforming person to play the role because they are free thinkers and do not fit in a specific role (BOX) that society place people into.

    Great thought when you said, "The writer wants a gender-nonconforming person to play the role because they are free thinkers and do not fit in a specific role (BOX) that society place people into." I feel the same way. I felt that leaving the kid as a gender-nonconforming person was definitely a deliberate move by the writer.

    Re the bear, look at the character list at the beginning. The playwright says that the bear can be played by EITHER a male or female.
