Peppermint Beehive: A Play about Punks in Love, Puppets, and the Gentrification of Downtown

Directed by Dennis Frederick and written by Zoni Award-winning playwright Ashley Naftule, Peppermint Beehive is a play about punks in love, puppets, and the gentrification of downtown. The lovechild of a menage a trois between Lewis Carroll, John Waters, and Betty Boop, Peppermint Beehive is an absurdist dark comedy about what happens when a neighborhood full of weirdos, queer lovers, and bohemian dreamers crosses paths with the implacable iceberg of capitalism. Starring Sarafina Starling, Ashley Belle Vasquez, Madeleine Miller, Logan Watters, Marcella Grassa, Rick Larsen, Angela Gonzalez, and Tommy Cannon, Peppermint Beehive plays at Metro Arts (1700 N. 7th Ave, Phoenix) from May 22 to 31st. Friday and Saturday shows at 7:30 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m. There will be a matinee performance on Saturday, May 23, at 2pm and a Pay What You Want performance on Thursday, May 28, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at the door or online via {TICKET LINK}. Please note: while there are puppets in this (designed by Amy Carpenter), this is NOT a kid’s show. There is strong adult language and content in this play. Please leave your kiddos at home or be prepared to have some... interesting conversations after the show.
