The Telling of the Bees
About The Telling of the Bees by Chandler Hubbard:
Ten years after a tragedy befalls a rural family, the remaining members are given a chance at redemption and reconciliation when they stumble upon a young man who bears a striking resemblance to their lost son. At once funny and intriguing, The Telling of the Bees offers a unique look at the lengths people will go to in order to make themselves whole.
* The Telling of the Bees is proudly presented as a part of AFPP 2022
Barter Theatre's annual Appalachian Festival of Plays and Playwrights celebrates the richness of the Appalachian tradition by showcasing the stories of the region, both past and present, and the inspiration it provides the writers who live here. Since 1933, The AFPP has gained national attention by developing a process that has resulted in new plays being produced not only on Barter’s stages, but in regional theatres across the country. AFPP readings are free and open to the public. Audiences participate in the development process by attending readings, participating in panel discussions, and sharing feedback.
AFPP will be held virtually this year. The readings will be free, but pre-registration is required and will open on January 24th 2022. Sign up for updates in the form to the right!
