Forget Me Not Theatre Company is seeking 3 Men and 2 Women Chicago Premiere of A Strange Disappearance of Bees by Elena Hartwell. Maybe it's pesticides, mites, or an HIV-like virus, no one knows why the millions of honey bees are disappearing, but they are. People disappear, too, but we like to think we know why. Cancers from chemicals, isolation through technology, or a disconnect from the larger community. A Strange Disappearance of Bees tells the story of 5 people struggling to connect in a world where the bees are abandoning them.
