Letters From Max

A Ritual

By Sarah Ruhl

Based on the Book By Sarah Ruhl and Max Ritvo

Directed by Amy Poisson

February 28th - March 23rd, 2025

THE SEATTLE PREMIERE

Letters From Max follows the friendship between Sarah, a college professor, and her former student Max, during his battle with terminal illness. With humor, lyricism and candor, this play tests poetry’s capacity to put to words what otherwise feels ineffable.

“It’s a theatrical act of remembrance and a sacrament of grief, but it’s also a comedy…” - The New York Times

Runtime: 100min including intermission

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

Inspired by the clowning of Buster Keaton and the existential absurdism of Samuel Beckett. The ensemble and acclaimed playwright Trista Baldwin explore 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

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

Samantha O’Malley, 100% female human woman, is living happily in Butte, Montana when a carefully guarded family secret is unearthed. Not only does Sam have an estranged aunt no one has ever mentioned, but it turns out she's lesbian punk rock icon Vikki Vektor!

A "feel good identity crisis," Here and Their is a funny and joyful rock musical about coming out "late" in life, intergenerational queerness, and family - both blood and chosen. It's a show for trans people and the people who love them.
