The Charlottesville Playwrights Collective presents the third show of our first season, an original full-length play by Peter Gunter and directed by Fran Smith.

The Crying Tree tells two parallel stories about race and politics in America. Set in the near present and the early 19th century on a Virginia plantation, we discover how far we have come as a nation and where we remain mired in the past.
