Turnover: A New Leaf


Book, Music & Lyrics by David Quang Pham

Set in a world of personified plants, this coming-of-age musical follows a transplant cilantro who starts a salon in Dirty City to raise her son, Parsley. When the garden nation of Woodwook ratifies the Weed Out Act, she must earn her green card before she gets uprooted and loses custody of Parsley. However, she faces a new obstacle: her landlord Malus's nibling and Parsley's new pear friend named Pyrus Crabapple. Pyrus sends Parsley on an adventure filled with crop tops and fertilizer pops that gives him an awakening his mom was not rooting for.
