Exit 63 Theatre Announces Chicago Premiere Cast Of TREEFALL

Exit 63 Productions has announced the cast and creative team for the Chicago premiere of TREEFALL by Henry Murray.

Directed by Artistic Director Connor Baty, the cast features Kirra Silver, Shea Petersen, Matt Schutz and Andrew Garcia.

TREEFALL, named one of the ten best plays of 2009 by LA Weekly, is a tragicomic exploration of gender identity and the meaning of family. Beyond the end of the world, where trees are dying and sunlight must not touch human skin, three teenaged boys survive by reinventing a culture they never really knew. They cling to the shreds of civility by playing Daddy, Mommy, and Junior, but the game has worn quite thin. Just when it seems things can't get any worse, a stranger arrives with a terrible secret that changes everything. The LA Times describes TREEFALL as "Visually and emotionally gripping. Effectively drives home its cautionary message about the environmental legacy we're neglectfully creating for future generations."

TREEFALL will run August 16th - September 2nd at Trap Door Theatre, 1655 W. Courtland St., Chicago. Tickets and additional information available at www.exit63theatre.com.
