Queen Bee at Eastwood Performing Arts Center

In this satirical retelling of Lord of the Flies, five 12 year old girls find themselves unsupervised in their middle school classroom when all of the sudden a school wide lockdown is announced over the loudspeakers. As they come together and form a plan, power dynamics (and friendships) complicate their path through the chaos. Woven with preteen politics, the complicated internal (and external) forces of girlhood, and a young obsession with a notorious dictator, these girls hold our hand through emergency and promise to deliver this story with the unwavering honesty and humor of their adolescent perspective.
