Synopsis: Branches is an audience interactive drama where the audience sits as a part of a group therapy session.  The audience members, by their actions, determine which one of three possible endings is presented.  John, a successful middle aged self-made man, approaches his therapist and friend, Dr. Marvin Schwartz.  John recently had a one night stand with a woman in his office and cannot bring himself to confess to his wife.  The audience then decides whether to bail John out, or to let him face the consequences of his actions.
