Bat Brains is a new play from award-winning writer and performer Sam Kruger (Just for Laughs Best Comedy Award) that reimagines Kruger’s own months-long nervous breakdown as a darkly funny, and oddly beautiful tour-de-force thrill ride that fuses theatre, dance, and mime into a performance that is a "must-see combination of physical theatre and comedy” (Capital Critics Circle - Ottawa).

If you require ASL interpretation, please contact the box office and we will do our best to accommodate performance.
