Separated at Birth was the story of personal connections missed and made in a bustling city’s subway station. Pairs and trios of clowns explored commuter archetypes instantly recognizable to Washingtonians familiar with the daily drudge of public transportation.

The production was created with a wide range of ages in mind and appropriate for children ages 10 and older.
