Fallen Branches Plant Roots is a story of family, chosen family, and what it means to show up for one another.

Audience advisory: Please note that this play contains mature themes including incarceration, drug and alcohol use, mental health, intergenerational family trauma, and sexual violence. This play may not be suitable for all audiences.

​

General admission tickets are offered on a pay-what-you-can basis, with a suggested ticket price of $25. We encourage you to pay what is meaningful for you, and to not pay anything if that is the right choice for you.
