Melisa is a kind-hearted follower of rules. She desperately wants a child, if only she could pass the government mandated test that will allow her to do it. Young Clarisa knows nothing except the perfectly curated life her parents have carved out for her in their fortified underground mansion. She too has a test to pass, if only she could focus, follow, listen; the way Mother wants her to. In Erlina Ortiz’s magical "Honey Bee Baby," the bees are gone, the resources are scarce, and everyone must earn their place in a world where the lines between right and wrong are blurred by blood.
Jalice Ortiz-Corral ("Variations on The End" 2023; "Variations on Courage" 2024) directs.
Erlina Ortiz (she/her/ella) is a Dominican American playwright and theater maker from Pennsylvania. Her heartfelt and humorous plays have been presented across the US, and with Power Street Theatre in Philadelphia, where she is proud to be resident playwright and co-artistic director.
