ABOUT THE SHOW

Everyone knows parenting isn’t easy. But for Sweatpants, the job gets completely out of hand when they’re faced with an inconsolable baby, some vague advice—and a mysterious and mystical creature who may not have their best interests at heart.

SWEATPANTS is a collaborative circus show that’s currently in the research phase. This performance features two excerpts of a modern fairy tale written by Sal Sawler and workshopped by Vanessa Furlong.
