Some Assembly Theatre Company launches its 25th season with OUR LAST TREE from April 30 to May 3 at the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre.
A raging storm has taken the lives of many, including three at a climate protest, all observed by a ghostly figure. As the Spirit Guide decides whether or not to invoke a deal that could change everything, the play becomes a reminder that people can choose to either inspire positive change or watch the world implode.
Written and directed by Valerie Methot with a creative team of diverse youth and artists, OUR LAST TREE stands in a world where young people share an urgent need to save the planet and each other. This apocalyptic theatre production symbolizes the fate of the world with one special tree whose branches entwine countless lifelines.
Tickets to OUR LAST TREE are free. Learn more and reserve seats through Some Assembly Theatre Company.
