There is a tree holding up the moon. If you cut it down, that would definitely be bad. Featuring a tree, a maintenance worker, and the strongest girl in the world, this play tells a story about grief, loss, and the fact that everyone is kind of an asshole sometimes.

This performance includes strong language.
