ROLES AVAILABLE: 

EMERY: 40s-60s, female, any race. Lives in a treehouse. Uses a walker, though it’s unclear how much she actually needs it. She’s performing scientific experiments on the consciousness of plants. Plants make sense. People are confusing. And loud. And hard to read. And sometimes they touch you which is awful. So much safer to be alone with her plants.

HAZEL: 40s-60s, female, any race. Emery’s older sister. She’s been a waitress at the Millerville Diner for way too long, taken care of Emery even longer. Frustrated and powerless, a rage roiling just beneath the surface. She could have done so much with her life. Is it too late?

LUANNE: 20s-30s, female/non-binary, any race. Guileless. Hungry for joy, for a tribe, for something larger to believe in.

SYNOPSIS: Emery and her sister, Hazel, have never ventured out of their tiny town in upstate New York. This is “A-ok” with Emery, who would happily spend the rest of her days alone, in her homemade treehouse, blogging about her experiments on the consciousness of plants. But when Emery becomes an unexpected internet sensation and crowds start congregating believing she’s their new savior, Hazel sees an opportunity for profit and escape.
