Pretty & Papi, created and performed by Leah James Abel, Rebecca Houlihan & Olivia Hallie Lehrman, is a lively, surreal, very entertaining Performance-Art pastiche on dating performed by three talented comediennes, two of them, Lehrman and Abel, with advanced circus/gymnastic skills. Starting with a silent comedy of old people dating, the versatile performers give us scenes of lives, high and lowdown, some spoken, some in gibberish, some with full-blown absurdity as they transform into dogs, babies, gymnasts, and interact improvisationally with the audience.
Pretty & Papi is a totally engaging comedy montage of vivid characters, in stylized comedic costumes, full of laughs and surprises, nimbly directed by Sayda Trujillo, with lively music by Fingers DelRay.
