Type me Queer prettypretty

About This Show

An interdisciplinary music and comedy piece from prettypretty. The show itself utilizes storytelling through song, short scenes, projections, and movement.  We explore queer expression and the inherent joy that arose along the journey of our friendship, beginning from strangerhood in college classes to best friendship and into the raunchy cosmic queer future. The title is a cheeky comment on our musical theater background and the age old tradition of “type casting.”

Collaborators: Marcos René Ospina, Rachel Wilson, Fintan Rowan, Imani Lherisson, RJ Christian, Blair Perry
