The Man Who Could Imitate a Bee

Hervey Deyo has, from a very young age, devoted himself to the study of science. His particular passion is ornithology, the study of birds. However, as he got older he noticed he suddenly had interests unfeathered, specifically: girls. When he notices a male competitor pursuing a girl he admired he decides to take a page out of his book and implement a party trick sure to woo anyone he fancies. He learns he can do an immaculate imitation of a bee, and his life explodes from there.

Emerging Artists Theatre (EAT) returns with its first Spark Musical Theatre Festival NYC, allowing composers and librettists to present where they are in their creative process  as a work-in-progress with audience feedback. Visit the theater any evening during this three-week event, and you'll find yourself transported in a number of surprising ways perhaps by a bouncy new musical that will have you humming. Emerging Artists has always been about new works, talents, and voices. That's never been more evident than now.
