Returning from Forget About Spaghetti Festival 〰️
A VERY SPECIAL THREE NIGHT RUN!
Three rats in a dumpster share the same dream: to open for Ricky Gervais on his World Tour! These rats begin as friends, but how will they end? May the best rat win!
This musical -- brought to you by three folks who have never before written or performed in a musical, and only one who has -- tells a tale as old as time.
