THE BIRDS AND THE BEES: UNABRIDGED Will Return to the Tank This October!
By: Nicole Rosky Sep. 23, 2015
THE BIRDS & THE BEES: UNABRIDGED explores the unique -- yet interwoven -- life circumstances of eight women & trans people forced to confront their own sexuality, realizing that sexuality itself is not simple or clear-cut. Through dialogue, movement, song, humor, and multimedia, the performance examines such themes as partner communication, sexual identity, the de-sexualization of aging women, today's "hook-up" culture, and sexual health.
After a sold out run, Honest Accomplice Theatre's THE BIRDS & THE BEES: UNABRIDGED returns for an encore engagement at The Tank, running October 2?-4 (7pm). For more info and tickets: honestaccomplice.org.
THE BIRDS & THE BEES: UNABRIDGED is currently on tour in the greater New York City area to build on the success of their NYC productions at University Settlement and The Tank.
"We want people to know that others out there recognize the complexity of modern female and trans sexuality, and to feel comfortable in challenging the conceptions society often defines for them," shares Honest Accomplice Theatre co-founders Maggie Keenan-Bolger and Rachel Sullivan .
"This play validates, stimulates with laughter and shows our deep humanity." (62-year-old female audience member), Keenan-Bolger and Sullivan attribute the audience's strong connection to the show's content to their unique approach in developing the performance. The creators drew from audience feedback, ideas from actors, and even the results of a 2,000-person survey to represent the real opinions of women and trans people.
"This show touched on some very important and complex topics that are difficult to discuss and explain. The actors and actresses depicted some weighty scenarios with dignity and grace." - Judy Krinitz, Assistant Director of Student Life, Queens College
Featuring: Ashleigh Awusie, Maybe Burke, Jenne Carey, Ruth Cooper, Meggan Dodd, Cat Fisher, Molly Gallagher, Jordan Ho, Stephanie Mallick, E. Okobi, Julia Osen Averill, Mary Parker, Riti Sachdeva, Holly Sansom, and Aubrey Seader.
