Honey Bee Baby

by Erlina Ortiz

January 4–26, 2025

Melisa is a kind-hearted follower of rules. She desperately wants a child, if only she could pass the government mandated test that will allow her to do it. Young Clarisa knows nothing except the perfectly curated life her parents have carved out for her in their fortified underground mansion. She too has a test to pass, if only she could focus, follow, listen; the way Mother wants her to. In Erlina Ortiz’s magical Honey Bee Baby, the bees are gone, the resources are scarce, and everyone must earn their place in a world where the lines between right and wrong are blurred with blood.

 

Jalice Ortiz-Corral (Variations on The End 2023; Variations on Courage 2024) directs.

It's been said that every pregnancy is a miracle. This is triply true for Vanessa, a trans woman who wakes up one cold December morning inexplicably in her third trimester. As Christmas approaches, Vanessa, aided by her friends and beloved character actor Danny DeVito, must grapple with what it means to birth a miracle baby unto this world like a certain virgin two millennia before.

Marjorie is Dead

January 21, 2025

a staged reading

Last read by RLP in 2022, this is a new revision to Priyanka Shetty's side-splitting drawing room farce Marjorie is Dead.
The once-opulent Tilbury estate is in grave peril. The doctor,
the Colonel, the solicitor, and a roguish ne’er-do-well run circles around each other as the family comes to grips with a deadly “coroners’ virus” which has claimed the life of young Marjorie.
