Tree by Natasha Mercado & Deanna Fleysher	Natasha Mercado - Los Angeles, CA  http://natashamercado.com	V.7 - The Cinematheque
	Tree is an immersive comedy experience that's part clown show, part game show and part philosophical discussion exploring the duality of humanity. In this hour of comedy, participation is unavoidable. Our protagonist Tree leads the audience, or in this case the forest, towards what it means to be truly alive. A lovable gaze into a spiraling staircase of existentialism with surprising, yet inevitable, turns.

Natasha Mercado—The Cinematheque

Normally I start a review saying a bit about the show but this is a special case in that I can’t really tell you what it was about. The show didn’t really have a plot and theatre was the entire point. It was just pure fun. This show was exactly what Fringe is about, seeing something weird and amazing that you would never see anywhere else. The actor committed to the bit so hard that the audience bought in immediately. The show was creative, daring, and gut-bustingly funny! It’s audience participation that you will be leaping at the chance to join in. This is definitely a can’t miss show and proper clown fun.
