'The Apiary,' Presented by The University of Scranton Players: Showtimes and More

The University of Scranton Players will soon present "The Apiary," written by Kate Douglas and directed by University of Scranton alum Sam Morales '11. "The Apiary" will feature original music by University of Scranton alum Kiley Lotz '13 and choreography by Kirsten Kaschock.

The production will run from Wednesday, April 29, to Sunday, May 3. All performances will be at 8 p.m. except for a Sunday show at 2 p.m. The performances will be in the Studio Theater in the McDade Center for the Literary and Performing Arts on The University of Scranton campus.

"The Apiary" takes place in a synthetic honeybee laboratory 20 years into the future. Three women working in the laboratory are tasked with trying to keep the last few bee colonies alive in a world where they are rapidly dying off. When an unfortunate incident leads to a shocking discovery and a sudden increase in the bee population, the women must decide how far they are willing to go to keep the population growing. "The Apiary" warns us that the key to protecting ourselves and the planet is right in front of us, if only we would listen.

The company of "The Apiary" features: Myracle Brunette of Rockaway Beach, New York; Cassidy Lowman of Harrisburg; Gabriella Palmer of Phoenixville; Arion Solomon of Queens, New York; Lauren Spratt of Philadelphia; Nicole Tonny of Scranton; and Ava Wheeler of Scranton.
