Tree

"About the inescapability of family, of being known over time, of recognizing yourself in others, of continuing relationships after betrayal and suffering. We keep each other honest. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes painful, and so it is with this play."
Julie Herbert, Playwright
Why see Tree?
It all starts with an unexpected knock at the door...
The discovery of long forgotten love letters from Jim Crow era Louisiana leads General Studies professor Didi to an African American half-brother Leo in this compelling and provocative meditation from Julie Herbert, on race relations, the passage of time and the mystery of the past and the effect it has on our future. As deep secrets are lyrically discovered, Herbert's intricate and moving play will keep you thinking about the nature of family and generational divide, long after you've left the auditorium.
