Join Ratas de Dos Patas for an improv workshop specifically for women of color! Explore new skills and create improv magic using inspiration from your cultural background and lived experiences. As a community, we will foster a brave learning environment that is validating and learner-centered. We will celebrate our melanin, languages, cultures all while connecting and playing! All levels and abilities welcome!

Ratas De Dos Patas (RDDP) is a collective of four badass boss women who have taken the Chicago improv scene by storm. Marilet Martinez, Kendra Jamaica, Jessi Realzola, and Abigail Piñon make up this fierce group, and they have been featured in Time Out Chicago, Chicago Sun Times, and Chicago Tribune. They were nominated for Outstanding Improv Ensemble by the Alliance of Latinx Theatre Artists and performed in the Melanin Festival at Second City. RDDP performed to a sold-out crowd at Steppenwolf's Lookout Series: Las Locas presents Look Out for Locas! and have had five successful runs at the Annoyance Theatre in addition to Chicago performances at the Bentwood Festival at iO, Chicago Funny Women Festival (Stage 773), the Compass Festival (STL), and they were part of the Chicago Women's Funny Festival's very first all-Spanish speaking slot. Performances also include a sold-out Dia De Los Muertos show combining cultural ritual with improv, a Loteria-themed fundraiser for the Chicago Period Project, and Laugh for Love, a fundraiser for RAICES.

Ratas De Dos Patas intentionally curates their weekly shows to feature POC, LGBTQ and differently-abled performers. They have performed and taught workshops in San Francisco and Austin, TX. Later this year they will be producing their first sketch show inspired by la reina Selena Quintanilla. You can follow their journey on Instagram (@ratas_de_2_patas) and Facebook.
