Two people are moving towards each other across a distance. We can never say with absolute certainty exactly where the other is. - Care of Trees
How do you care for something fragile and spectacular without understanding the rules? What happens when your partner embarks upon a path that you simply cannot follow?A love story unlike any other, Care of Trees is an elegiac meditation on love, interconnectedness, and the eternal that integrates live performance, sound and video.

Elizabeth Hunter Spreen's daring new drama, Care of Trees, is what I call a "fearless" play. Its script takes audiences to unimaginable places in their minds while set designer Nina Ball provides the fluid landscape/mindscape required to support such a challenging emotional journey. The Shotgun Players' handsome multimedia production grabs audiences by the throat and takes them on one helluva challenging ride. - George Heymont, The Top 11 Events from San Francisco's 2011 Performances, Huffington Post, 2011
