SQUEEZE
Written by Trista Baldwin in Collaboration with UMO Ensemble and Associate Artists
Co-Produced with UMO Ensemble and Seattle Public Theater
April 4th - 13th, 2025
In a landscape shaped by climate change, housing insecurity, wealth disparity, and social disconnection, our characters adapt to seek stability, connection, and space. Meeting in a bar, they ponder, "How did we get here?" Through humor, grace, and physical skill, "SQUEEZE" challenges us to adapt and connect in a world on the edge.
Runtime: 75 minutes with no intermission, optional 30-minute post-play discussion after each performance.
Fuselage: Workshop Production
Written by Annie Lareau
Directed by Makaela Milburn
April 8-9, 2025 | 7:30pm
Actor and playwright, Annie Lareau, along with local favorites Brenda Joyner and Peter Dylan O’Connor, explore her time surrounding the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Instead of being on the flight with 35 of her classmates and close friends from Syracuse University as she intended, she was left behind in London.
With a mixture of humor and compassion, Annie's narrative of the budding lives of young artists is intertwined with voices from those in Lockerbie who tended to the crash, set against the ticking clock of prophetic nightmares and a terrorist plot. Her narrative is a love story to cherishing relationships in this fragile and unpredictable world, deeply connecting us to her journey through the bombing, the lonely debilitating grief, her brushes with overwhelming international media attention, and the self-punishment she battled in the aftermath.
Runtime: 70 minutes with no intermission

Two Catchers
By Brad Goren-Wilson
Directed by Hattie Claire Andres
"A plus-size, conspicuously queer high school softball player seeking an elite athletic scholarship enlists the equally queer altar boy at the local brother school to teach her how to play catcher. As they work on her game, a complicated and ecstatic relationship unexpectedly blossoms, and they find themselves dealing with complications much more serious than sports."
Performs Thursday June 12th at 7pm
Aviatrix
Book and lyrics by Angela Russell
Music and lyrics by Dionne McClain-Freeney, Directed by Amy Poisson
"Determined to make something of herself, a girl from rural Texas dreams of flying. But it’s 1917 and flight schools don’t accept women, much less one who is Black and Native. Refusing to take no for answer, Bessie Coleman charts a most unique path, making her legacy — aviation legend."
Performs Friday June 13th at 7pm
La Tormenta
By Ana Luz Zambrana and Aditya Joshi
Directed by Eden Aztlán
"In La Tormenta, Zaire and her daughter Estrella travel to Castañer, Puerto Rico, to celebrate Abuela’s 93rd birthday. Estrella resents her older sister Maria for abandoning the family, so when Maria unexpectedly arrives during a hurricane and power outage, the already tense family gathering spirals into a much more corrosive storm of emotions."
Performs Saturday June 14th at 11am
wild, mysterious forces
By M. K. Wessel
Directed by Kayla Walker
"Stuck in an elevator—or is it a spaceship?—a Woman and a Man struggle to figure out if they’ve met before, if they’re strangers, if they will meet in the future, and who this Other Woman is who keeps showing up. Swapping places with every blackout, the characters continue conversing as if nothing unusual has occurred. As the three grow agitated by the intimacy of the space, they find themselves caught in a duel of philosophy, sexuality, and power. But when an Alien breaks in, they're forced to confront their purpose in this strange little world—and what it is that has tied them all together."
Performs Saturday June 14th at 3pm
i never asked for a gofundme
By Jayne Deely
Directed by Emily Fortuna
"Millie is back home in Mobile, AL for a prestigious fellowship she couldn’t pass up. Her east coast born and raised Puerto Rican partner, Avery, is recovering from gender affirming top surgery. When quasi-aunt to Millie and righteous woman of God Teresa overhears Millie talking to the pharmacist at CVS, she assumes Avery has breast cancer and puts events in motion that turn everyone’s lives upside down: cue the casseroles, care packages, and checkbooks – a gofundme to SAVE AVERY! "I never asked for a gofundme" is a new queer comedy about gender, family, and religion that asks what it means to be worthy of care."
Performs Saturday June 14th at 7:30pm
The Last Rites of Uncle Manny
By Coco Justino

In the chaotic process of coordinating his healthcare, it is up to Claudia, Molly, and the comatose Uncle Manny to carve their respective autonomies out of hand-me-down American Dreams, Catholic Guilt, and a recipe for real Pinoy fried rice."

God's Favorite
By Catherine Crimmins
Directed by Jacqueline Meyners
"When Mary realizes she is pregnant, panic sets in. What is a 14-year-old in Nazareth to do? With limited options, Mary and her cousin, Elizabeth hatch a plan; call it a miracle. Say Mary is a pregnant virgin. Mary goes on a wild journey as her lie spirals out of her control and becomes the basis for a new religion. As the play goes on, Mary seeks her revenge on God and ultimately confronts her rapist in the kingdom of heaven. This dark comedy explores the heartbreak of girlhood in a deliciously dark way."
