Director Vernice P. Miller

More about the Play:
Bee Trapped Inside The Window explores modern-day slavery’s effect on the lives of three women of different backgrounds and ethnicities in the leafy suburbs of Connecticut.

May is an Asian-American in-house domestic worker for a wealthy family with kids; Sasha is a Russian-American corporate executive with a drinking problem; and Mia is Sasha’s black daughter, who is exploring and gradually understanding her own biracial identity.

Written as intercut interior monologues sliding into dialogue, the play follows Mia’s coming-of-age story over the course of 15 years through her relationships with her mom and her neighbor, while offering a window into the lives of domestic workers and immigrants.

Before or after the discussion, make sure to pick up your tickets to watch Bee Trapped Inside the Window, playing virtually February 26 – March 21: https://www.showclix.com/event/bee-trapped-inside-the-window
