Staged Reading: And the Trees Fall Down by Viviana Prado-Núñez

And the Trees Fall Down
A Hurricane Maria Play
by Viviana Prado-Núñez

Join us for a staged reading of And the Trees Fall Down by Viviana Prado-Núñez, directed by Janelle Zapata Castellano at The Flea in The Siggy @ 7pm ET.

Two months after Hurricane Maria, a brother, a sister, and a tree guy gather at Abuela’s house in Puerto Rico for a Thanksgiving dinner of vodka, birthday cake, and an elegiac kind of nostalgia. A heartbreaking, hilarious, and deeply human portrait of people and places left behind—of trees threatening to fall down, tractors ascending to heaven, the never-ending whirr of generators, the dull ache of aftermath, and how some people live with it (or don’t).
