DESCRIPTION

Beyond the end of the world, where trees are dying and sunlight must not be allowed to touch human skin, three teenaged boys survive by reinventing a culture they never really knew. They cling to the shreds of civility by playing Daddy, Mommy and Junior, but the game has worn quite thin. And just when it seems that things can’t get any worse, a stranger arrives with a terrible secret that changes everything. Treefall is a tragicomic exploration of gender identity and the meaning of family. 

SEEKING
AUGUST (He/Him, 18 and up to play younger) - August is a mix of the uncertainties and shyness of youth and the burgeoning powers of manhood. This role requires moments of physical intimacy, some of which are non-consensual. This role has moments where the character is in his undergarments. We will work with the actor to adjust based on their comfort level. 

CRAIG (He/Him, 18 and up to play younger) - The youngest of the bunch, confused about his gender role and uncertain about his legitimate place in his family, Craig is a collection of need and fantasy. This role requires moments of physical intimacy. This role has moments where the character is in his undergarments. We will work with the actor to adjust based on their comfort level. 

BUG (She/Her, 18 and up to play younger) - A girl masquerading as a boy, Bug has seen things too horrible to talk about, and has never before encountered young men as oddly protected and innocent as these three. This role requires moments of physical intimacy.This role has moments of nudity from the waist up. We will work with the actor to adjust based on their comfort level.
