VANCOUVER FRINGE 2023 – FINAL WEEKEND – GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!
Rat Academy
Batrabbit Productions
Do you like rats? Good. Come along with the two last Albertan rats as they teach you the ways of the rodent.
Fingers, a curmudgeonly street rat with a heart of gold, is completely alone. Or so he thinks, until he discovers Shrimp, an escaped happy-go-lucky lab rat. Eager to preserve his legacy, Fingers creates the Rat Academy to train Shrimp in the ways of the cold, hard street rat. On the syllabus: Cheese-ology, the Art of Scaring Magpies, Stealing 101, and Advanced Tails. But their dark alleys are far from predictable, and as the unlikely duo tries to exist in a world that hates them, they learn that survival is nothing without love.
Inspired by Alberta’s famous 1950s anti-rat propaganda and mentored by Mump and Smoot, this physical comedy duo will have you clutching your tail.
