What could possibly go wrong when a plant lover becomes an internet messiah?

Emery is perfectly content living in her treehouse, tending to her plants and sharing her research online. Her sister Hazel is less enchanted— stuck working long hours at the only diner in town to support them both. Meanwhile, Luanne is searching for something -anything, to give her life meaning.

When Emery’s YouTube videos unexpectedly spark a devoted following — and then, somehow, a full-blown cult — all three women are thrown into a new kind of chaos. As strangers gather beneath the treehouse, chanting and singing, Emery must confront what it means to be seen, believed in, and responsible for others.

Quirky, warm-hearted, and unexpectedly profound, ROOTED is a comedy about connection, belief, and the messy human longing for purpose. Back by popular demand after a sold-out reading, ROOTED invites audiences into a whimsical world where plants heal, community curdles, and each woman must decide how — and what — she chooses to believe.

Mainstage Performance

WAM Theatre’s Mainstage productions bring bold, high-quality theatre to life while advancing gender equity and community belonging. Through collaboration and box office revenue, we employ local and regional artists under professional union contracts and reinvest resources to support organizations serving women and girls across Berkshire County. Recent highlights include the World Premiere of 1999, the New England Premiere of Galileo’s Daughter, and the sold-out What the Constitution Means featuring two-time Tony Award–nominated Kate Baldwin.

Investing in Women & Girls

At WAM Theatre women artists harness the power of storytelling to mobilize communities towards empowered futures for women and girls. Our programs amplify the voices, vision, and leadership of women and girls, while spotlighting the transformational organizations on the front lines of advocacy and social change in Berkshire County and beyond.
