Flushed: Into the World of Wastewater Treatment
"For more than a decade," writes Stranger critic Brendan Kiley, "solo performer Stokley Towles has been studying us. He examines the mundane aspects of life in Seattle like an anthropologist from another planet: our libraries, our trash system, our police force, the history of a single city block and delivers his findings in rich, understated monologues full of bizarre, colorful trivia and bittersweet observations about how people navigate the world and each other."
In a follow-up to his last performance about stormwater and the sewer system, Towles presents Flushed: Into the World of Wastewater Treatment. The performance asks the question: After we flush where does it all go? Towles interviewed members of the public about their bathroom experiences and spoke to people who work in the world of wastewater. Hear about the creatures that keep Ron, a treatment plant manager, up at night. Learn about the sewage swim team and the day that lemons filled the treatment plant.
