Quake: A Closet Love Story
What:
QUAKE: A Closet Love Story is a hilarious and touching journey of one couple as they discover the similarities between being in love and being caught in an earthquake.
Inspired by recent local and global events, actor creators Tyler Olsen and Zuzka Sabata have created a new musical about a couple trapped in a closet after an earthquake. Completely cut off from the outside world, and without food or water, they are forced to rely on each other to survive, and in the process learn about themselves and the nature of love.
Filled with music, physical comedy and performed entirely within the confines of a small linen closet.
Written and directed by Tyler Olsen, and featuring the music of Daft Punk, Emiliana Torrini, The Bobs, Bob Schneider, and Britney Spears, QUAKE is performed by Tyler Olsen and Zuzka Sabata.
