Our first-ever play for all ages, The Wanting Forest, a play with music by Monica Flory, tells the story of Mira and Aspen, mother and daughter. Frustrated new mother Mira accidentally sings the wrong lullaby, thereby fating Aspen to "always want"—a curse of both ambition and longing. As she comes of age, Aspen leaves the forest to search for her fated longing—and finds adventure and love, magic and heartbreak. At home in the forest, Mira connects to her own wishes and fears as she attempts to recapture her disappearing dreams.
Told in poetry, lullabies, and dance, this big-hearted adventure spans the sea, a mountaintop, and an underground network of fungi. It’s no easy feat to discover a heart’s true longing, but the ones Aspen meets along the way help her to map out all the possibilities. A lyrical quest to discover hope beyond trees, selfhood beyond family, and how to unlock the beautiful curse of having (or being) a mother.
The Wanting Forest will be performed at Silk Moth Stage on September 19-21 and 27-28 with music and picnics starting at 5 pm and the play beginning at 6. We will also have matinees on September 20 and 27, with music at noon and the play beginning at 1. Fire circle and s'mores to follow!
The matinee performance on September 27 will have ASL interpretation by Kris Long and Emily Stemper, and audio description by Kim Newton.
We will also have performances with virtual captioning. We are still working on setting dates for these accessibility initiatives.

Silk Moth Stage produces place-based community events with new and under-produced plays at the center. Our productions are artist-centered and audience-connected. By creating a broader experience around the play, we hope to stretch the public’s conception of theater-going and reach beyond a typical theater audience.
We invite people to reconsider what a theater experience can be.
