“Planet of the Grapes” – An Epic, Tabletop, Sci-Fi Adventure!

The internationally acclaimed lockdown hit “Planet of the Grapes” is now alive on stage - transporting audiences to a futuristic world where talking grapes reign supreme and humans are rendered speechless. Created & performed by Peter Michael Marino, this fast-paced comedic homage blends the charm of Victorian toy theater with the sci-fi spectacle of the 1968 classic “Planet of the Apes,” creating an interactive, immersive, all-ages adventure packed into a juicy 60 minutes. The production is directed by Michole Biancosino and plays June 6–7 at The Rat in Brooklyn - featuring Marisol Soledad. IIn “Planet of the Grapes,” an American astronaut crew crash-lands on a distant planet where an intelligent, articulate, and evolved grape society enslaves mute humans like laboratory monkeys. What unfolds is a high-energy theatrical experience that spills off the cutting-board stage and into the audience - blending satire, spectacle, and unleashed imagination with uncorked madness.
