The Squirrels is a fast-paced, witty dark comedy for our times (by the playwright of the Tony Award® nominated play Hand to God).

When a group of starving fox squirrels begs him to share his hoard of food, animosity erupts into ferocious war. The Squirrels is a wild, rollercoaster ride about a family of squirrels (yes, squirrels) as they face the challenges of climate change and the changes amongst their scurry – no creature comes out unscathed! 248-347-0003

Performance

Kate was stressed enough about her band, work, family, and friendships. Then a demon showed up. Now it’s worse. Taking influence from the zombie comedy of Shaun of the Dead and the noir comedy of The Nice Guys, Serenity Curse inserts comedy into the psychological horror of films like Jacob’s Ladder and It Follows. It tackles heavy subjects like depression with enough levity to make you laugh, enough heart to make you cry, and enough demonic possession to make you grip your armrest. Content Warning: Play contains violence, themes of depression and self-harm. N/A
