WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
With pathos and humor, Squeeze Box skillfully weaves together Ann Randolph's personal experiences of working in a woman's homeless shelter and of her love affair with the accordionist of her dreams. Using her elastic face, acrobatic voice and attuned body language, Randolph paints the painfully funny portraits of the shelter's residents. With just a chair, banjo and a guitar, Randolph brings together her compelling and comical journey of discovery and self-acceptance with remarkable freshness and vibrancy. This one-woman show illuminates the dignity and grace in unusual people and places, reflecting upon the relationship between where we are and where we expect to be.

She even speculates that their upgrade to subsidized apartment living puts them at an advantage over her and she suggests that, in the long run, she might be better off as a client rather than a low-salaried worker.
