Sex, Lies, And A Sycamore Tree at Charlotte’s Off Broadway

Scandalous secrets await under the Sycamore tree in Sex, Lies, and A Sycamore Tree, a new comedy by Charlotte playwright Elaine Alexander, that takes a satirical swipe at suburban excess, midlife adultery, and tree conservation!

Can two midlife marriages and the last remaining Sycamore tree of the Sycamore Grove subdivision survive a not-so-neighborly summer party on the patio? Set in our explosively growing Carolinas, Sex, Lies, and A Sycamore Tree comically explores how hastily planned suburban development imperils trees, upends the character of older neighborhoods and even sparks a backyard battle that pits neighbor against neighbor and spouse against spouse!

New Yorker magazine celebrated playwright Gabriel Jason Dean describes Sex, Lies, And A Sycamore Tree as "funny, sharp, smart and bold...The playwright has an innate knack for landing a laugh while at the same time creating dimensional, flawed, yet empathic characters. Sex, Lies, And A Sycamore Tree gives dollops of sugar along with a healthy dose of social critique. "
