ATA kicks off its 48th Season with a new play by Bruce Lawder – THE CHERRY TREE – directed by Emma Schwartz. THE CHERRY TREE is part of the Directors Festival and Women in Theatre (WIT) initiative at American Theatre of Actors.

SYNOPSIS

A mother and her two adult daughters deal with the toxic behavior and attitudes that resulted from the abandonment of their father. It’s taken years for them to accept the changes brought about by his absence, when unexpected financial news forces the three women to re-evaluate the reality of their situation. And when the boundaries between reality and fantasy cross – can they forge a new strength and a better reality for themselves?
