"If A Tree Falls"
An original musical by Etta Hughes and Carolyn Phelps Scholz
Affectionately described by the writers as “Romeo and Juliet, but with lumberjacks and woods nymphs,” this folk musical follows environmental and anti-war themes—turning what could have been another classic love story into a poignant and tragic parable.
Featuring Etta Hughes, Malaya Moores, Armonie Cohen-Solal, Ava Trout, Allison Pyo, Neal Jacobs, Robyn Tarantino, Sarah Wilcox-Hughes, Jack Conway, Isla Hughes, and Miah Caron. The production will also be a fundraiser to help Upstream Watch buy and protect the area at the mouth of the Little River, supporting both public access and the preservation of critical natural habitat.
The crew consists of Stage Director Carolyn Phelps Scholz, Musical Director Etta Hughes, Stage Manager Ivy Lobato, Producer Sasha Kutsy, Accompanist Mo Lotman, Choreographer Maria Jacobs, with technical assistance from Erik Perkins and directing consultation with Julia Olson.
Performances will be nightly at 7pm on August 15, 16, 22, and 23 with matinees on August 17 and 24 at 2pm.
Although the show is being produced independently, the Belfast Maskers enthusiastically support this production.
