Bold. Rough. Affordable. Theatre.

Since 1996: theatre that breaks the rules, theatre that tests conventions, theatre that rocks! Brat is committed to “thinking outside the proscenium” with performance pieces that are surprising and incendiary, entertaining and unsettling. We create new work and re-envisioned classics, collaborate with established and emerging artists, produce shows in non-traditional venues, and reach out to everyone by keeping ticket prices low.

CARRIE WHITE, 16, a wallflower with a powerful secret (played by male actor in drag)

MARGARET WHITE, 40s, Carrie's mother and a religious fanatic
