FAU's Theatre Lab presents Rooted

  • Parliament Hall (Building 102) on FAU's campus 777 Glades Road Boca Raton, FL, 33431 United States (map)

FAU’s Theatre Lab will present the Florida Premiere of Rooted, a play by Deborah Zoe Laufer, from February 2-18!

Emery and her sister, Hazel, have never ventured out of their tiny town in upstate New York for all their 60-some years. This is “A-ok” with Emery, who would very happily spend the rest of her days alone, in her homemade treehouse in her beloved tree, Mabel, blogging about her experiments on the consciousness of plants. But when she becomes an unexpected internet sensation and crowds start congregating beneath Mabel believing she’s their savior, Hazel sees an opportunity for profit and escape for the first time in her life.

This is the second in a planned trilogy beginning with 2018’s hit, “Be Here Now,” and was developed at The Lab over summer 2019. Like its predecessor, it received a critically acclaimed world premiere at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and now returns to Heckscher Stage – marking Zoe Laufer’s third full production at The Lab.

Directed by Deborah Zoe Laufer
