POTATO POTATO’S FOURTH GRADE HOLIDAY PAGEANT EXTRAVAGANZA
DECEMBER 18-19
Your favourite tater tots are back to weaponize their theatre degrees with a holiday themed song-filled sketch revue about politics, climate change, and the hilariously apocalyptic state of the world. In a world obsessed with the US, Potato Potato is here to throw light (and shade) on the Canadian side of the story. Part political satire, part sketch show, and with a generous dose of dread- prepare for recycled props, catchy musical parodies, and surprise visits from your (least) favourite politicians.
