Six Hundred Times or (A Book of Trees)

Three months. Two strangers. One lost memory.When Marcus, a tightly wound architect, collides with Maya, a dancer who seems to move through life by an entirely different logic, what begins as a chance encounter in Central Park becomes a series of conversations that challenge everything they think they know about work, ambition, love, responsibility, and what it means to feel fully alive.Funny, intimate, and quietly disarming, the play unfolds over one New York spring as two strangers begin to see themselves-and each other-more clearly. With birdsong overhead, a distant saxophone in the air, and a great oak standing witness, Six Hundred Times asks a deceptively simple question: What happens when you stop living by default and start paying attention?Advance Praise for Six Hundred Times"Six Hundred Times has managed to capture both the tangible reality and magical possibilities that come from making connections-between people and within ourselves. This play is fun and potentially life-changing." - Jonathan Baskin, Playwright & Novelist"Stop waiting for Godot-it's time for a fresh exploration of the human condition: why we build the lives we think we want, and then sleepwalk right through them. Author and playwright Tom Asacker has long played the role of existential provocateur, and his new work, Six Hundred Times, will leave audiences questioning everything they've been choosing by default-alive with the kind of inspiration that makes you finally stop and see the forest for the trees." - Trudi Roth, Writer, Meditation Teacher & Playwright"The universe is its own dynamic reminder of the difference between living and being alive. The question is: Will we pause long enough to hear, see, smell, taste, and touch it? That's the vital message and soul-stirring point of Tom Asacker's wonderful play, Six Hundred Times." - Mark Ramsey, Writer, Producer & Playwrightwww.sixhundredtimes.com
