Now rescheduled for Saturday, June 18!!! (This event was originally scheduled for June 12.)
The Friends of Herrontown Woods and the Princeton Public Library will be hosting its second annual theatrical event, Saturday, June 18 at 4 pm, in a clearing next to Veblen House. "Among Trees" is an hour-long performance that includes a mix of classic texts and writings about nature contributed by the community, along with evocative musical performances.
The event is free, with any donations going to the Friends of Herrontown Woods. The program has been put together by professional actors Vivia Font and Ben Steinfeld. Ben is with Fiasco Theater and Vivia has connections to the Lewis Center for the Arts. The Princeton Public Library is co-sponsoring the event, and Small World Coffee will provide a refreshing beverage.
"Among Trees II" is looking for submissions for its 2022 celebration of nature at the Herrontown Woods. Please submit your play, poem, or essay in any language to be possibly selected and presented by professional actors at the event in a beautiful grove of trees. Submit to: amongtreesprinceton@gmail.com by May 30, 2022.
The First Annual “Among the Trees”

Bugs haven't been too bad this year, but some bug spray could be useful. We're providing chairs, but bring your own if you want.
