Honest Accomplice Theatre Will Bring The Birds & the Bees: Unabridged Back to University Settlement

Honest Accomplice Theatre will bring the previous hit show The Birds & the Bees: Unabridged back to the Lower East Side’s University Settlement. According to press materials, "The Birds & the Bees: Unabridged explores the unique — yet interwoven — life circumstances of eight women and trans people forced to confront their own sexuality, realizing that sexuality itself is not simple or clear-cut." The show made its debut in spring 2013.

Honest Accomplice Theatre is a nonprofit with a mission to generate dialogue and stimulate change by focusing on topics that are often silenced, seen as shameful, or portrayed as one-dimensional. To deliver on this mission, Honest Accomplice Theatre produces work by the community, with the community, and for the community. The company was cofounded by Maggie Keenan-Bolger and Rachel Sullivan. Broadway vets Celia Keenan-Bolger (The Oldest Boy, The Glass Menagerie) and Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Family Furniture, Newsies) serve on the board.

University Settlement's Performance Project is a public performance project that finds concrete ways to reestablish and articulate the importance of the arts within the education system and the community at large. Performances include established, new, and emerging artists. It is committed to creatively incorporating artists into programming at University Settlement, including after-school programs, The Door, the Houston Street Center, and the Beacon. Artists can work with specific programs or age groups and propose participant workshops, professional development training, community events, or interactive art-making experiences.
