Bud <3 is a heartfelt puppetry performance exploring the themes of grief and botanical care. Written and produced by Darragh Mondoux, the piece features a cast including Samantha Bitonti, Riley Wilson, and Lucas DiTecco, under the direction of Rahul Gandhi. Through the lens of horticulture, the production examines the rituals surrounding nurturing both plants and loved ones throughout their lives. This innovative work is part of the Centaur Theatre's WinterWorks festival.
