THE BUSY BEES’ GREAT ADVENTURE is an original new work commissioned by the Arsht Center, it was written by Miami-based playwright Ashlee K. Thomas with music by Nico Raimont and directed by musical theater educator Tanisha Cidel. The storyline follows four honeybees on a quest to save the planet when they learn about the threats to the environment, including their own possible extinction, and what actions can be taken to prevent our planet’s destruction. The show is envisioned as an engaging lesson in environmental literacy, a topic close to home for Miami children who live in one of the most susceptible areas in the country. For most students, this will also be their first live theater experience at their local performing arts center..
