Description

When humanity fails nature, nature gets creative. 

Set in 2044, honeybees are extinct in the wild — sustained only inside controlled lab environments. When two lab assistants uncover a disturbing method to revive the population, their work takes a chilling turn. What begins as a scientific breakthrough quickly spirals into something far more complicated and shocking, forcing them to confront the true price of progress and morality.

Darkly funny and deeply provocative, THE APIARY blends sci-fi thriller, workplace comedy, and ecological parable to explore the ethics of environmental intervention and what we’re willing to sacrifice to fix a broken world. The result is a story that is intimate, unnerving, and somehow hopeful against all odds. Beneath the tension and satire lies a deeper current: an exploration of love, connection, and the codependency between humanity and nature. When we ask nature to provide for us, what does it ask of us in return?

With sharp performances and an intimate setting, this is a story that lingers long after the buzz has settled. Performances run for five weeks, April 8 - May 9.

Why you should see this show...

For those who love sci-fi, post-apocalyptic theorizing, environmentalism, or just bees, THE APIARY will get your brain buzzing and keep you asking, “What if?”
