UPCOMING EVENTS
Fortune’s Fool Presents: Bull in a China Shop
This September, Fortune’s Fool Theatre will shine a light on the revolutionary, real-life romance of Mary Woolley and Jeanette Marks in Bryna Turner’s fast-paced comedy-drama, Bull in a China Shop.
Mary Woolley served as the president of Mount Holyoke College from 1900 to 1935. For 35 years, her passionate life partnership with professor (and former student) Jeanette Marks was an "open secret." Together, they led a radical transformation in education, evolving Mount Holyoke from a school for obedient wives into one of the country's foremost centers for women’s science and humanities.
"It hasn’t exactly gone unobserved, Madame President, that you climb three flights of stairs every night to kiss Professor Marks goodnight."

Coming in August 2026, The Hive Collaborative presents David Ives's thrilling two-person play Venus in Fur.

Come witness this Tony nominated, 90min masterpiece.

Not Your Mother's Silent Night
Roz Prickel returns for another year of festivity at the Hive!

It is truly the perfect way to traipse through what she affectionately calls "Bermuda Triangle Week." Nothing like original tunes and good clean humor to get you safely though that pesky time between Christmas and New Years without a scratch.
