Squeeze

Written by Trista Baldwin in collaboration with UMO Ensemble

Co-Produced with Seattle Public Theater

Directed by Elizabeth Klob

April 4th - April 13th, 2025

Inspired by the clowning of Buster Keaton and the existential absurdism of Samuel Beckett.
The ensemble and acclaimed playwright Trista Baldwin explores five clowns being shut out, in need, desperate to connect and vying for control of territory. Three simple platforms and a series of ladders connect or obstruct them all. Two stunning acrobats magically weave between personal vignettes that explore the issues of today's world.

Runtime: 75 minutes with no intermission
