What to do when life gives you lemons? – Build a forest in your living room. A play about life, love, and fairytales. Juliet (Brooke) is going through a messy divorce and finds herself back home with her eccentric mother (O'Hara), who is going through a crisis of her own. Add to the mix a single dad, who is a former actor, now a caregiver (Acevedo), and a high school student (Grant) trying to find his way, and you get a play that is funny, poignant, and magical. The Forest will grow in your hearts.
