<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">Electrifying
theater performed where we live—that is, literally, our house. <b style=""><i style="">I Dreamed
of Rats </i></b><span style="">is actor
Terence Cranendonk’s intimate and visceral one-man show, performed in the
setting of his own home. This solo work reimagines the 25-plus character
Russian classic, </span><i style="">The Inspector General</i><span style="">, as the paranoid fantasy of one of its supporting characters, the
Mayor, as he sits in his study one evening. The performance is both an actor’s
personal exploration and a comedy of universal appeal, highlighting the
precision and craft of the performer’s body and voice as the channel for an
audience’s laughter and fears. With a few simple objects and an overcoat, Mr.
Cranendonk invites the public in to his house for a night of hilarious,
preposterous, side-splitting terror. </span><b style=""><i style="">I Dreamed of Rats</i></b><span style=""> is part of Mr. Cranendonk’s </span><i style="">Where
We Live</i><span style=""> series, bringing bold and creative
new theater to people’s houses, apartments, cottages, cabins, tents, and other
places of domicile.<o:p style=""></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">“Intelligent
physical comedy . . . a finely crafted miniature—spare, exquisitely precise and
consistently amusing . . . . Cranendonk is a formidable physical comedian, and
his work with simple props is nothing short of dazzling.” – Linda Eisenstein, <i style="">Cleveland

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-size:12pt;">“Terence
Cranendonk’s performance is an athletic symphony of fidgets, spasms and
half-completed thoughts. He shows a remarkable mastery of movement and is at
his best executing a Fred Astaire-like <i style="">pas de deux</i><span style=""> with a coat and hat on a hanger.” – Christine Howey,
