Set in a future drastically altered by global climate change, TREEFALL is the story of three teenagers who have been surviving in the Pacific Northwest, trying to keep their make-shift family unit together. The arrival of a stranger with a secret unhinges the life they knew, and the vestiges of civil behavior crumble. The play re-examines how our culture sees and instills gender, identity, and family...even in a future world where these strictures have eroded.
