The company describes itself as a "text-based, actor-centered" company, and their productions are marked by an intense focus on the text of the play itself.

Formed in 2000 by husband and wife team Joseph Papke and Carin Bratlie,^[1] the company's production of Trainspotting was voted the #1 play at the 2002 Minnesota Fringe Festival. Pro Rata capitalized on this success to produce ever-expanding seasons and has taken up residence in St. Paul's Loading Dock Theater alongside fellow small theater company Gremlin Theatre.
