PAST PRODUCTIONS

An enchanting tale of adventure, friendship and very busy bees written and performed by Dan Gordon with magical happenings by Paul Bosco McEneaney. Using black light illusion, live music and magic, 'Only Beelieve' tells the story of a very special insect....

A furry little bee wiggles out of her cocoon into the strange new world of Honeycomb Hive. Just one little bee among thousands of others but she's a Queen in the making - her name is Princess Clara. Born blinking into the busy bee world of nectar and yummy honey, Princess Clara soon discovers her hectic home is not quite as safe as everyone thinks.

Only the cleverest, busiest and best of bees can stop the Wood Wasps from taking over Honeycomb Hive - but a bee needs to fly and Clara can't even hover because she doesn't believe in herself.

Clara might stop them if she could Only Beelieve - do you?

      and I can still see parts of the show in my mind that is how much I really

      enjoyed it."  

     "The songs and the music was spectacular. I would come again to see Only

      Beelieve, I hope you make a lot of funny plays too. "
