Opening Night Is This Weekend for The Apiary at New Village Arts

Opening night is just days away for The Apiary, the highly anticipated San Diego regional premiere now on stage at New Village Arts Theatre. The production officially opens Saturday, January 31, marking the start of a compelling new run that blends science fiction, humor, and emotional depth in a story that feels both timely and unforgettable.

Written by Kate Douglas and directed by Kristianne Kurner, The Apiary is set in a near future where honeybees are nearly extinct and a team of scientists work inside a synthetic honeybee laboratory racing to preserve what remains. As the pressure mounts, the play moves beyond environmental urgency to explore human connection, ethical responsibility, and the consequences of innovation. The result is a smart, layered production that balances big ideas with deeply personal moments.

Audiences have already begun responding to the show during previews, and there is still a limited opportunity to attend before opening night. Pay What You Wish preview performances are available through January 30, offering an accessible way to experience this thought-provoking production ahead of its official opening.

Following opening night, The Apiary runs through February 22, with multiple performance dates and times throughout the week. Whether you’re a regular New Village Arts supporter or looking for a fresh and engaging night at the theater, The Apiary is a standout addition to the winter arts calendar.

With opening night just around the corner and only a few preview tickets remaining, now is the time to secure your seats. This is contemporary theater at its best, sparking conversation and connection long after the curtain falls.
