About the Play

Emery is content living in her treehouse, communing with her beloved plants. Her sister Hazel is miserable, grinding away at the only diner in Millerville to support the two of them. And Luanne is yearning for something — anything — to bring meaning into her life.

When Emery's YouTube videos of her plant experiments accidentally launch a cult — a CULT! — all three women are plunged into a very different kind of chaos. Each must find her own way to live, to love, and to decide what to believe.

Equal parts warm and whimsical, Rooted is a glimpse into everyday moments that reminds us of the lasting importance of family, friendship, and the quiet magic that surrounds us when we're paying attention.
