This intimate ensemble piece offers theaters a contemporary work that speaks to multi-generational audiences.
Thirty Saints Productions has announced the newest addition to its theatrical licensing catalog, The Secret Wisdom of Trees by award-winning playwright Christine Toy Johnson. This compelling 80-minute dramedy explores the enduring power of love through memory, family bonds, and healing.
Following successful workshops at The Barrow Group and Florida Studio Theatre, this intimate ensemble piece offers theaters a contemporary work that speaks to multi-generational audiences. The play follows Abby Green, a spirited 67-year-old woman who plants trees at locations of her most significant memories as she prepares for her journey with early-onset Alzheimer's. When tragedy strikes and family conflicts arise, the story weaves through time and memory to explore what remains when memories begin to fade.
