CHERRYWOOD was written as a series of simple lines, a play without characters, allowing the actors to assemble their roles from the lines they chose to speak, originally devised and created by the Rude Mechanicals and Kirk Lynn of Austin, TX in 2004. "Welcome to the neighborhood. CHERRYWOOD is probably unlike any place you've lived before. Or maybe it actually is all the neighborhoods you've ever lived in." In a world full of anxiety, when the only thing on TV is the NEWS, people stay at home waiting for trouble to be at a low enough level, and then someone decides to throw a party. Flyers are distributed at random offering hope to anyone looking to CHANGE. Posing the question: if you could change one thing about yourself, would you do it? Cherrywood is a hilarious and intriguing bender loaded with great music, social commentary, and cutting edge structure. Sure, to be one wild ride!
