Ribbit RePublic's BEST PICTURE, written by Kurt Fitzpatrick, played in fifteen Fringe theatre festivals from 2014 - 2016. It won Best of Fest in Winnipeg, Orlando, and Ottawa, and the Producers' Pick Award in London. BEST PICTURE starred Jon Paterson, Tara Travis, Rachel Kent, and Kurt Fitzpatrick. It was directed by Jeff Culbert with a sound design by Rick Cousins.
In BEST PICTURE, all Academy Award Best Picture winning films were lampooned in the style of fast paced comedy and parody, from “Wings” to “On the Waterfront” to “Silence of the Lambs.”
