Please help support this timely, quirky, soulful new play, and our first co-production between Healing TREE and Divine Riot!
When Ash, the youngest of three adult foster siblings, has a mental health crisis, their family reunites in the New York City home that shaped them all.
As Ash uses their background in video game building to mire through layers of memory and myth, a battle ensues to overcome their soul-family’s unresolved wounds.
The Big Bad explores intergenerational trauma, marginalized identities and the supernatural - and asks the timely question, “What drives us to keep moving through despair?”
This groundbreaking full-length play is written by Lanford Wilson Award-winning and Showtime series staff writer Ren Dara Santiago.
At a time when mental health resources, LGBTQIA+ lives, and work that doesn't cower to mainstream marketability and dares to ask the tougher questions are under attack, we hope you will join us in creating this crucial piece of art.
