A hilarious ride through the paradigm shift, from Newton’s rational, law-and-orderly universe to the free-wheeling Universe 3.0. A heady mixture of quantum physics, trenchant political commentary and the personal saga of Levine’ s experience with a freakish medical condition provides proof that her Five Easy Steps actually work.
Emily Levine was both a successful stand-up comic, lauded by “Newsweek” as “one of the new queens of comedy” and the L.A. Times as “a mad professor genius comic,” and a television writer/producer, writing such shows as Designing Women and Love and War. Bored with both careers, she re-invented herself as a comedian/philosopher and launched the first of her one-woman shows, “Five Easy Steps to Metaphysical Fitness.”

Chicken Stock, expertly told by Lunatique Fantastique’s team of found-object puppeteers, is the uncanny story of avian influenza as seen through the eyes of domesticated birds and migratory water fowl. Using newspaper, plastic bags and plastic forks, the animators bring the Henpeck and Mallard family to amazing life as they encounter the deadly flu. The emotions evoked by these puppets, created from everyday objects, will both surprise and haunt you.

"When I first saw [Squeeze Box], I was deeply moved. Ann Randolph's amazing work, both as a writer and fellow performer, touched my heart and my mind so profoundly that I felt it belonged on the New York stage." Anne Bancroft
"She goes in and out of these characters. She's a bit of a genius. I've been around, and I haven't seen so much talent in one person since I married Anne Bancroft. I've got to say that these are two great Anns, and I am glad that they hooked up together." Mel Brooks
“See the show… You really should. "Squeezebox" is the Marsh at its best: understated and brilliant.” Doug Konecky, SF Theater Blog

The Marsh is delighted to extend Ann Randolph’s SQUEEZE BOX, produced Off-Broadway by the legendary Mel Brooks and the late Anne Bancroft. The show tells the painfully funny story of Randolph’s crazy minimum wage life working the graveyard shift at a homeless shelter for mentally ill women even as she pretends to be a hugely successful ‘consultant’ to Harold, an impassioned accordionist and man of her dreams. It is through this unlikely cast of characters that she finds her own answers to life’s big questions.
