Come and watch an unconventional bedroom comedy—the first of the Arts Club OnTour series! Set in two adjoining bedrooms on a modern Canadian farm, the play tackles sex, love, science, family, and the artificial insemination of turkeys. The Birds and the Bees is a laugh-out-loud comedy with brains…and a huge, honeyed heart. AUDIENCE ADVISORY: The Birds and the Bees contains partial nudity and depictions of sexuality. Theatrical devices such as water-based stage fog, and strobe lighting may occur. Programming, casting, dates, and prices are subject to change. Prices include taxes and facility fees.
