November 29, 2007 –  A black comedy, by multi-award winning writer Douglas Carter Beane, “As Bees in Honey Drown” weaves a mysterious story of art, love, and pop culture using desire and deceit.  Starts February 15th, 2008 and runs through March 15th, 2008.

“As Bees in Honey Drown” is darkly humorous, racy, romantic, and dramatic, with delicious twists and turns that demonstrate just how far people will go to be famous and look for truth.

The show, produced by Nadine Lindseth and directed by Raylene J. Wall, takes place in present time and is about the struggle and naiveté of the “almost” famous. These hopefuls are seduced, unknowingly, by duplicitous characters who taunt them with the hype and hint of becoming a rich and prominent celebrity. Drawn, like bees to honey, these celebrity “wannabes” are overwhelmed by the pressures of a promised stardom.  g characters, and the clever use of flashbacks, the story goes from being comical to a rampage of revenge.
