Bee
Synopsis:
Bee tells the fascinating story of an Asian American man, who is invisible, and an African American woman, who is the only person in the world who can see him. On their quest for a cure, they explode contemporary views of race, class, and gender. Part comedy, part Drama, part social commentary, part parable-Bee is a new play that dares to see the world in more than black and yellow.

Jukebox Stories
Synopsis:
Prince and Brandon are back once again to bring hilarious and clever stories and songs to the Impact stage. This time around, the milieu is the seediest fortune-telling den in Chinatown, where our intrepid team will show us how mystics do that voodoo they do so well. As with previous editions, there are so many songs and stories that they can't all fit into one evening-and so once again the audience chooses the set list, playing games and winning prizes, and it's never the same show twice. Imagine if David Sedaris joined forces with Warren Zevon and then they took over This American Life and turned it into a game show. It's even better than that.
