Urbanite Returns March 20 with The Apiary

SARASOTA — Urbanite Theatre returns on March 20 with the regional premiere of celebrated playwright Kate Douglas' The Apiary. 

It’s twenty-two years into the future, and honeybees are nearly extinct except for those kept alive in labs. When a shocking event leads to an even more shocking boost in bee populations, an overqualified new lab assistant, Zora, and her talkative coworker, Pilar, must decide just how far they’ll go to keep the population growing...and the whole thing under wraps from their overstressed, budget-conscious supervisor, Gwen. 

Named a New York Times Critic’s Pick, this “bright, strange and mesmerizing marvel” is a provocative comedy about sacrifice and the ethics of discovery, penned by 2022 Modern Works Festival finalist Kate Douglas.
