BEE was developed in 2017 at Barns Art Collective (Maine) and HB Residency (NYC). HB Studio has had their Residency program for ten years and it was the first time they took a workshop production and moved it to their Playwrights Theatre in 2018.
BEE, a story created by Melody Erfani (our founder) and written by Sean Michael Welch, focuses on the life & strength of Melody's Iranian Grandmother. It also weaves that tale with refugee stories with the aim to help bridge the growing cultural gap that contributes to discrimination.
