On Rising Together: Collective and creative responses to the climate crisis
A play by Marisela Treviño Orta directed by Olga Sanchez Saltveit. Almost all the insects are gone, but Cassandra and her brother Alexander are tracking the world’s last monarch butterflies heading to the west coast instead of south. Their path intersects with an Oregon truffle farm where a small group of people are hunkering down to wait out the apocalypse. Will their encounter provoke the collapse of humanity or a new beginning?
Performances: April 6th – 8th, 7:30 pm each evening and 2 pm on Saturday.
