One-Woman Stage Play of “The Secret Life of Bees” to be Staged at William Paterson University on October 28

A one-woman version of the best-selling novel “The Secret Life of Bees” will be presented as part of American Place Theatre’s Literature to Life Program at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 28, at William Paterson University in Wayne.

This show is based on The New York Times best-selling book by Sue Monk Kidd. Set in North Carolina during the Civil Rights movement, the story is about Lily Owens, a 14-year-old white girl, who is on a search for the truth about her mother’s death. Her journey leads her to three eccentric African American beekeeping sisters, who help her discover the real meaning of family.
