Bees began its West Coast premiere at Mountain View's Center for the Performing Arts' Second Stage Theatre July 28. Danny Scheie (The Last Hairdresser) directs.

Beane's 1997 comedy follows the rise of young gay novelist Evan Wyler who, after publishing his first book and posing with his shirt off in a trendy magazine, is "discovered" by femme fatale and self-described producer, Alexa Vere de Vere.

Other plays by Beane, a founder of New York's Drama Dept., include Country Club, Advice From a Caterpillar and the book to the upcoming musical, The Big Time.

Rebecca Dines and Michael DeGood star as Vere de Vere and Wyler, respectively. Also in the cast are Jackson Davis, Doug Holsclaw, Alexis Lezin and ej Ndeto. Tickets are $35-$27 and are available by calling (650) 903-6000. TheatreWorks is on the web at http://www.theatreworks.org.
