DESCRIPTION OF PLAY–”Poetrees and Other Verses from Nature”
Swinging on trees. Laying in the grass. Gazing up at stars. Expressed in
a tapestry of poetry styles, this beautiful new play celebrates children¹s
experiences of the one thing we all share‹the earth. From tickle your ribs
funny, to heartbreakingly sad, young people use imagery from trees and
nature to craft poems about what they encounter in the out of doors and in
their lives. Penned by kids from a variety of different cultural,
geographic and experiential backgrounds, “Poetrees and Other Verses from
Nature” is an ever flowing stream of joyous youthful expression. It will
inspire audiences to write, and to look at the earth with a renewed sense of
wonder.

Along the way, he drags his agent, his acting rival, his bombshell girlfriend and his ex-wife into the journey, in a wildly twisting tale of Hollywood and the afterlife.
