TACOS & EXTINCTION

A staged triptych with prologue and epilogue.

Aboard the HMS Beagle, sailing between empire and paradise, a captain surveys, Charles Darwin devours, and the Last Great Auk is running out of time.

Never you mind the weaving Spider, pogo-sticking Cricket, or hungry Gorilla. Tacos & Extinction is a surreal existential tragicomedy, blending the mythic, historic, and anthropomorphic into a vivid meditation on the Web of Life.

It’s 1834. The tacos are served. Just one small question: is this boat sinking?

  • Absolutely.

  • Great question.

    Like an acorn, SNP has been in a germination stage, “underground.”

    2025 is the first year that projects will go live across each of our divisions: experiential, theatre, and film.

Theatre

Theatre is a seeing place for communal discovery — a place where the mirror is held up to nature.

It’s story telling that allows for a diverse collection of people to gather together in a room and laugh or cry their way into one big group catharsis.

At Squirrel and Nut Productions, we invite our theatre patrons to suspend their disbelief until the final curtain, remembering that only then “the great work begin(s).”
