New Musical 'BUZZ, SON OF A BEE' Flies Into The Sargent Theatre This Spring

A special limited-engagement run of BUZZ...Son of a Bee, a new musical comedy spotlighting the actor's life is set to open March 24th at The Sargent Theatre.

The quest for a plot! The glamour of despair! A tale of love and honey... As eight individuals search to find a home in the theatre, they stumble upon a strange catalyst that weaves them all together...bees! A story full of heart perfect for all, BUZZ, Son of a Bee gently reminds us that a life in the theatre can sting you, but it can also be as sweet as honey.

Each of the eight performances will feature a different Bee Conservation Organization, which will receive a percentage of the box office-details and a list of organizations available on the website.

The cast features: Michael Citriniti*, Chris D'Amico, Nora Davis, Ariana Johns*, Evangeline Johns*, Richard Koons*, Perryn Pomatto* and Rick Roemer* (*appearing courtesy of AEA).
