WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In 1960 Florida, Ruthie and Bo, two young newlyweds, enter their honeymoon suite in the sky, a tree house. A romantic gesture from the young groom to his wife. Yet Bo's expectations of living happily ever after in the sky are soon grounded by Ruthie's realization that marriage comes with many unforeseen - and frightening - challenges. The two lovers struggle to fortify themselves against forces both inside and outside the tree house.
A new play from Scott Hudson, SWEET STORM is a funny, powerful, and intimate love story that challenges our perceptions of marriage, faith, and love.
Padraic Lillis, director of the Public LAB workshop production of SWEET STORM and Alchemy's production of 'Umbrella,' returns to create the premiere production of a love story that will both deeply touch and challenge you.
Produced in association with LAByrinth Theater Company.
by Scott Hudson, recipient of the 2009 Creative Spirit Award

with Jamie Dunn and Eric T. Miller
