Check out  the first photos of the cast and creatives behind Agnes Borinsky's The Trees, which will begin its world premiere Off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons February 12. Opening March 5, the co-production from Playwrights Horizons and Page 73 will run through March 19.

Tina Satter (Is This A Room) will direct The Trees, which follows two siblings who fall asleep in a public park. As they become a literal part of the landscape, they accidentally establish a utopian community in a contemporary parable exploring ideas of structure, community, and the risks of staying put.
