The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe

Balagan Theatre
Seattle, WA

Originally made famous by the amazing Lily Tomlin, Trudy the Bag Lady has made a life for herself on the streets offering her own bits of wit and wisdom to the passers-by. Before she wound up on the streets, she was in and out of hospitals, receiving so much electro-shock therapy that she believes her nervous system has been re-wired and now tunes into the bio-rhythms of people around her.

Trudy takes us, along with her two alien companions, on a discovery trip to find out what it means to be human while imparting her own impressions on life. She tunes into a wide array of people - ranging from Agnus Angst, a 15-year-old punk performance artist; Agnus' grandparents Lud and Marie; Chrissy, a recently unemployed workout enthusiast; Lily, an actress currently performing a one-woman show; and many others - both men and women, gay and straight.

A wonderfully comic and painful dose of truth direct to the heart, this one-woman satire stars the delightful Terri Weagant.
