Raleigh Little Theatre presents the first musical of its 2021-22 season, “Beehive: The 60's Musical.” Created by Larry Gallagher, the musical runs August 12-28 in RLT's outdoor Louise “Scottie” Stephenson Amphitheatre. The production is directed by Lormarev Jones, whose previous RLT directing credits include “Blood at the Root” in 2019.
Plays and musicals are often written about racial incidents that have happened in the distant past, like THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS or the fictional RAGTIME. It's less often that they are written about more contemporary events like the true story of the Jena Six, six black students charged with attempted murder after a school fight in Louisiana in 2006. But Dominique Morisseau's BLOOD AT THE ROOT at Raleigh Little Theatre tackles the topic with respect and thoughtfulness, creating a narrative that examines the situation from many sides of the student body of the high school where it occurred.
