A comedy-drama in one act.

In the forest near their town, 10-year-old Lee and his friends encounter a supernatural evil. When adults prove to be no help, Lee takes it upon himself to destroy it. But Lee has his own monster to confront at home, a monster that may even be more sinister than the mystery that awaits in the woods.

"[…] a great coming of age story about acceptance and accepting who you are."

—Literary Addicts Magazine

“On the page, the play has many delights and surprising depths. “Between the Trees” has all the elements of satisfying theater. […] I look forward to a production.”
—Michael A. Thomas, PhD
