The Squirrels at Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET)

The Squirrels

Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET)
31 W Patrick St Frederick

The patriarch of a family of grey squirrels has stowed away enough nuts for 10 winters, but the fox squirrels from way over near the 7-11 want in on his stash. In this fiercely funny and provocative play, the writer of Hand to God exposes the way we use power and domination to mask our own insecurities and fears.

"...The fun is in the physical acting. The six actors in Robert Askins’ The Squirrels at Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET) run, jump, chase, paw, gnaw, “muck,” and fight with abandon, all the while chittering, squeaking, arguing, and deceiving. Squirrels gone wild! The energy is electric."

"..."The Squirrels" at Maryland Ensemble Theatre (MET) is a profound experience for this area's theatre scene. Under the direction of Julie Herber, this bushy-tailed production presents survival struggles to keep audiences thinking for days. As Herber writes, "[The play] raises important questions about leadership, the consequences of unchecked power, and the importance of empathy and collaboration." The dark comedy also has a lot to say about the complex emotional lives of squirrels-at least the six squirrels living in this apocalyptic scurry."

"...The Squirrels. Better still— The Squirrels at Maryland Ensemble Theatre as the penultimate production of their 2023/2024 main stage season. Written by Robert Askins (Hand To God) and Directed by Julie Herber…well… buckle up, you discerning patrons of the arts, because this one’s a doozey. Hell— I’ll say it. It’s nuts!"
