THE APIARY Runs May 1-16

THE APIARY
Falcon Theatre
May 1-16
[Newport]

Directed by Chad Brinkman

Cast: Anna Hazard as Cece/Kara/Anna/Bryn, Rachel Mock as Zora, Natasha Boeckmann as Pilar & Amanda Marasch as Gwen

It’s twenty-two years in the future, and honeybees are nearly extinct except for those kept alive inside of labs. Zora is overqualified for her new job at one of these labs, but she’s there because she loves bees—or what is left of them. Her stressed supervisor, Gwen, has learned to keep her head and budget down so her research doesn’t get discontinued. Zora, however, doesn’t mind spending her own time and money to try to rehabilitate the bee population. When an unfortunate incident leads to a boost in the bees’ numbers, Zora and her coworker Pilar have to decide just how far they’re willing to go to keep the population growing. An unsettling and sharp-witted cautionary tale, The Apiary warns that the key to protecting each other and the planet is right in front of us, if only we would listen.
