The Beebles Refrain, the first official sequel to The Beebles Accord, picks up just a few "stage minutes" after the events of the Accord, but in those few stage minutes, much has happened off-stage. The play begins with what appears to be the Scottish Play but quickly evolves into a series of play references led by a visiting Stage Manager from Our Town. Soon, this "SM" clashes with Michael, who has become the new leader of the troupe, and Montaño, who has finally found someone he doesn't like. We watch as the characters perform their roles, all the while accepting that characters have "moved on," welcoming characters who return, and meeting a new . . . character who changes everything. And yes, the legacy of the cow lives as a refrain that reverberates through the play as the characters learn a new lesson about art, time, and identity.

The Beebles Continuance serves as a bridge between the events of the first two major Beebles plays, The Beebles Accord and The Beebles Refrain. This short play begins with Mary Ann, recently having engaged in self-evaluation, coming to terms with her character and her role in the Beebles universe. She is quickly joined by Brannon and Law, who are with her during her epiphany. Within a few minutes, the characters are visited by an iconic character from English literature, who sets into action the events that will lead into The Beebles Refrain. This short one-act play has comic elements, yet it pulls together the logical and emotional strings of The Accord and provides the characters with the arc that leads them to the search for meaning explored in The Refrain.
