Tony nominee Kara Young will join Kate Douglas’ play The Apiary February 28 for the final week of its Off-Broadway run.
The production, which began performances Off-Broadway at Second Stage Theatre January 31, will run through March 3. Directed by Kate Whoriskey, the piece plays Second Stage's Tony Kiser Theater thanks to the New American Voices Fund.
Young replaces April Matthis, who has had to leave the production due to a scheduling conflict. Young was previously a part of The Apiary’s development period, having participated in the play’s 2023 reading.
The Apiary stars Lucille Lortel nominee Carmen M. Herlihy (Bachelorette), Nimene Wureh (That Damn Michael Che, Inside Amy Schumer), and Emmy, SAG, and Golden Globe nominee Taylor Schilling (Orange is the New Black, A Month in the Country).
Set 22 years in the future, two lab assistants put a plan in motion to change the world, with the help of a few unusual volunteers.
The Apiary was previously a part of the 2022 Judith Champion Reading Series. The New Play Development at Second Stage is supported by a grant from the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust. This season is supported by a grant from the Howard Gilman Foundation.
