Patronus Theatre

05/10/2019

After a great chapter of theatre making, Patronus Theatre is retiring. Our most recent show, award-winning Monica vs. The Internet, is now heading on a cross country tour with Rage Sweater Theatre Productions! We invite you to follow the new page Monica vs. The Internet for all things fringe tour as well as their GoFundMe campaign here! https://ca.gofundme.com/RageSweaterFundraiser

As the co-creators of Patronus Theatre (Kai Taddei and Monica Joan Ogden, that’s us!) we’re excited for this new direction, and grateful to have had the chance to create theatre together in our youth. Though Patronus is ending, we’re both continuing to create our work in cities all across the country.

Thanks everyone for your support. Bye Patronus, hello Monica vs. The Internet!

Who are we? Hello! We are Monica Ogden, Tony Adams, and KP (the artist formerly known as Ann-Bernice Thomas), and together we make up Rage Sweater Theatre Productions. We are an unapologetically loud, QT2IBPOC, non-binary, disabled, theatre company, whose work focuses on socio-political activism...

After some post-fringe recovery time, we are grateful to have won Pick of the Fringe for Bravest Show at the 2017 Victoria Fringe Festival. Thank you to everyone who voted for Monica vs. The Internet, who came out to see the show, and who spoke so highly of it during fringe line-ups. POC and our stories matter too, so thank you for listening.

First review! "Monica vs the Internet: Tales of a Social Justice Warrior is sharp, incisive, funny, well-constructed and devastating."
