Theatre Northwest: The Squirrels

Theatre Northwest presents “The Squirrels,” by Robert Askins, directed by Dr. Joe Kreizinger, in the Studio Theater at the Ron Houston Center for the Performing Arts. Show times are 7:30 p.m. April 9-11 and 2 p.m. April 12.

Scurius, the patriarch of a family of gray squirrels, has collected enough nuts to last ten winters. When a group of starving fox squirrels begs him to share his hoard of food, animosity erupts into a ferocious war. "The Squirrels" is a boundary-pushing, darkly satirical look at wealth inequality in which no creature comes out unscathed.
