Tree Confessions
“Tree Confessions”
“Mesmerizing. Fascinating, moving, mystical, informative; I could list a dictionary’s worth of adjectives and still not fully describe how special Tree Confessions is… an audio-only piece that is so fully realized you can see it. Please take half an hour and listen to Tree Confessions and be changed for the better.” — Rachel More, View.
In a landmark study, a scientist learned everything about how trees communicate —or did she? Hear the tree’s point of view in this new audio play (35 min). Self-scheduled: When you buy a ticket for a date, you can then listen anytime that day. Just sit by a tree and press play.
Tree Confessions is written by Jenny Lyn Bader, directed by E.B. Mee, and stars Kathleen Chalfant (Tony-nominated actress and Obie Lifetime Achievement Award and Drama Desk Award winner).
It premiered in “Beuys for Future” International Exhibit at the Gallery for Sustainable Art in Berlin and has since streamed in Brighton Fringe Festival (UK), Camden Fringe (UK), Philadelphia Fringe, Hamilton Fringe (Canada), Watford Fringe (UK), Melbourne Fringe, Sydney Fringe, FIBA Festival (Argentina), Living Record Festival (UK), Yan Han Ju Chang Yan Chu (China), Greater Manchester Fringe, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Nepal International Theatre Festival, Singapore Fringe Festival, and in a Spanish translation Confesiones de Un Árbol in FIBA 2023.
Environmental advocate Ramsay Adams calls Tree Confessions “Moving and powerful”.
