Ratas Gigante
Ratas de Dos Patas proudly presents “Ratas Gigante!” Taking inspiration from the long running Latine show “Sabado Gigante” which was a mix of games, contests, and musical entertainment; Ratas reimagines this classic show and turns it upside down by making it intersectional, feminist, and queer. “Ratas Gigante!” is filled with sketch, improv, audience participation, and, of course, amazing commercials all seen live.

The Invocation of Selena Stage Reading
The Invocation of Selena (TIOS) is a sketch comedy, cabaret-style show that explores how cultural icon Selena Quintanilla Pérez continues to inspire and motivate Latine people, particularly women and the LGBTQIA community. Through character monologues, drag, choreographed dance numbers, audience participation, moments of song, and more, TIOS celebrates cultural duality while examining when, why, and how we call on Santa Selena in our everyday lives. At the top of the show, Selena is literally invoked and, in this case, she is a larger-than-life drag queen who guides the cast on this journey to help them find their way in a society that desires to put them in a box. The show also uses biographical information about the artist as well as the 1997 Gregory Nava film Selena as source material to create characters and scenes that tease out our diaspora as Mexicans, Americans, Mexican Americans, pochos, Latines, queers… “and it’s exhausting!”
