Description:

Casting actors for "If A Tree Falls" Stage Play, please apply if interested. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE CONSIDERED. About the project: If A Tree Falls is a multi-generational drama with subtle supernatural elements, set in a single wooded location where past, present, and future begin to overlap. When a young girl claims to see a mysterious woman in the woods, her father Tyler is forced to reconnect with his estranged father, Nick. As buried tensions rise, the forest becomes a space where memories take shape and time collapses—revealing the lasting impact of love, loss, and the things left unsaid... The play unfolds across three interwoven timelines—1972, 1992, and 2012—centered around the same secluded forest clearing. In the present, Tyler returns to the woods with his daughter and partner to reconnect with his estranged father, Nick. When his daughter begins describing a woman she sees in the woods, the family is drawn into a series of encounters that blur the boundaries between memory and reality. As the story moves between past and present, we witness Nick’s upbringing under a strict, emotionally distant father, his transformative relationship with Abigail—his wife—and the fracture that followed her death. The forest becomes a shared space where these timelines intersect, allowing unresolved grief and unspoken truths to surface. Ultimately, If A Tree Falls explores how love endures across time, how silence shapes families, and whether reconciliation is still possible when it feels too late. Please apply if interested.
