“Speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues”

—Dr. Seuss, The Lorax

This sentiment is at the heart of “For the Trees,” an interdisciplinary production using music, sound design, lighting, visual imagery, spoken word, and educational resources to raise awareness and inspire action around the issue of deforestation and the destructive ways it contributes to climate change. The evening will include a discussion with local forestry experts.
