Enjoy an original production performed by Eric Paul Jacobsen, and directed by Margaret Eginton. Presented by Sublingual Productions "Rat Race" The secret life of ThemePark" transports audiences behind the theme park facades to another side of these "magical" words: one populated with puppets who talk back to their puppeteers, dancers who are stalked by theme park groupies and their taxidermined dogs, and women who will never be thin or white enough to be a princess. "Rat Race" is a fast paced physical exploration of the hilarious, dangerous, and disheartening sides of this reality, as well as the complications inherent in such an attempt at representation.
