Synopsis:
erika Lopez writes and performs in this one-woman show adapted from her new book the Girl Must Die: a Monster Girl Memoir. Not content to wait until 2050 to come to power, Kitten Lopez, the undisputed/reigning queen of the short-lived Boricua Noir film era, teeters atop some overly-ambitious imaginary high heels and swaggers out into the play's starring role to tell us all to deal with reality, grow up and have fun while doing so. the show harks back to the heyday of east Village performance art with impossibly high ideals, campy production values, and lots of sleazy, shameful excitement. Of course there are also the ubiquitous dancing girls, Cynthia Renta's "Monster Girl Mamiz," and each night a writer or poet opens the show with a brief 10-minute reading of work: Jennifer Camper, Sue Frumin, Charles Rice-Gonzalez, Charlie Vazquez, and others.
