Spring Theater
Production

This past Spring, the Curry Theater Department, under the direction of DL Garren, produced and performed, As Bees in Honey Drown. It was a most ambitious production, featuring six pieces of revolving, rolling and slipping scenery, all built and run by the cast itself. As Bees in Honey Drown, by Douglas Carter Beane, besides being visually stunning, also dealt with the sensitive issue of sexual preference in a dark-humored, fast paced way.

This project restored 18-acres of salt marsh and associated habitat at World’s End in Hingham, one of the 30 islands of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreational Area, designed in 1996. The Curry College Science Department Team played an important role in assessing the original site conditions and the project was greatly enhanced by Curry’s contribution.

Students heard from an impressive panel representing TV, Radio, Print and Public Relations at the Communication Department’s Strategies for Success Luncheon. Professionals from a variety of agencies as well as alumni spoke with students at the Psychology Department Reception. The Fine and Applied Arts Department Reception also provided students an opportunity to speak with professionals in the field.
