Eight-year-old Flora has lived in six foster homes since the age of five. One day Flora meets Bee and their budding friendship changes everything. A humorous and heartwarming tale of foster care, the importance of the hive and the power of friendship.

Although many plays about foster care exist for grades 5+, our research shows that FLORA MEETS A BEE may just be the first such play created specifically for grades K-3. It’s also our first bilingual FEST play!

35 minutes, including 5-minute pre-show and 5-minute post-show discussions

Directed by Jerry Rapier  | Designed by Arika Shockmel

With Ariana Broumas Farber as Flora and Brenda Hattingh as Bee

(secondary cast: Isabella Reeder as Flora and Darby Mest as Bee)
