Plays of Wilton (POW!) and Ronnie Larsen Presents will present the World Premier of Erin K. Considine’s “Family Tree” a The Foundry beginning on April 18, 2024. This family drama tells the story of Isabella losing herself to Alzheimer’s. She struggles to communicate with her children. Her communication comes in repetitive stops and starts, leaving her children to untangle the roots t of their past in order to make some weighted decisions bout their future. Is a fresh start possible when the old growth has been gnarled and broken away? A family drama that is as much about conflict as it is humor and tenderness. A gay son, Gavin, returns home at the behest of his sister, Calista, to find their mother is slipping away. The siblings rehash old hurts and reveal new secrets.
The production stars Carbonell winning actors, Lindsey Corey, Bruce Linser and Elizabeth Dimon. Taking the helm is Carbonell award winning director, Margaret Ledford and stage manager, Amanda Ortega. “POW! is excited to welcome Lindsey, Elizabeth, Margaret and Amanda as first time members to The Foundry and POW! family”, said Ronnie Larsen, founder and Artistic Director. Bruce returns to POW! after directing the sold out production of Dan Clancy’s “108 Waverly”.
