Honest Accomplice Theatre Will Present THE BIRDS AND THE BEES: UNABRIDGED at the Tank

Honest Accomplice Theatre's THE BIRDS & THE BEES: UNABRIDGED is currently on tour in the greater New York City area to build on the success of their NYC productions at University Settlement.  THE BIRDS & THE BEES: UNABRIDGED explores the unique -- yet interwoven -- life circumstances of eight women & trans people forced to confront their own sexuality, realizing that sexuality itself is not simple or clear-cut.  Through dialogue, movement, song, humor, and multimedia, the performance examines such themes as partner communication, sexual identity, the de-sexualization of aging women, today's "hook-up" culture, and sexual health.
