Chameleon Theatre One Woman Show
I Got Questions is an electrifying one-person, outdoor theatre performance, featuring Josy Jones, following a woman as she interrogates her close and intimate friend, a tree. She’s got questions. She tries to reconnect with nature–the nature of the world and the nature of her self. She tries to fathom the forces that carry us–love, desire, evolution, technology, and the unseen rules that we bump up against every day.
