NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Thirty Saints Productions proudly introduces the newest addition to its theatrical licensing catalog, "The Secret Wisdom of Trees" by award-winning playwright Christine Toy Johnson.

Following successful workshops at The Barrow Group and Florida Studio Theatre, this intimate ensemble piece offers theaters a contemporary work that speaks to multi-generational audiences.
The play follows Abby Green, a spirited 67-year-old woman who plants trees at locations of her most significant memories as she prepares for her journey with early-onset Alzheimer's. When tragedy strikes and family conflicts arise, the story weaves through time and memory to explore what remains when memories begin to fade.

- Running time of 80 minutes (no intermission)
The play was honored as a Semi-Finalist for the 11th annual Jewish Playwriting Contest, praised for its "...deeply moving tribute to a family coming to terms with multiple kinds of losses."
This play is perfect for:
- Regional theaters seeking contemporary dramatic works
- Community theaters looking for meaningful ensemble pieces
