Rabbit in a Hat Productions was founded in 2001 in Montreal by Artistic Director Paul Van Dyck
with a mandate to produce new Canadian Independent Theatre.
With its premiere production, The Adventures of Mouse and Crab, Rabbit in a Hat set a tone for
visually imaginative and poignant theatrical storytelling.
Since then, Rabbit in a Hat’s plays have garnered critical acclaim and a plethora of awards, with
many of its productions being picked up for remounts by collaborating theatre companies including
Centaur Theatre, Segal Centre for Performing Arts, Infinithéâtre, Hudson Village Theatre,

Lexy Howe (London, England), Jeremy Eliosoff, Holly Gauthier-Frankel, Ned Cox, Jim Burke, Vanessa Rigaux, and Nisha Coleman (Montreal).
