Beautiful Princess Disorder

The Catastrophic Theatre

Beautiful Princess Disorder

By kathy Ng, Directed by Jason Nodler

WORLD PREMIERE

“Welcome to the sky. Thank you for agreeing to stay forever.”

Triangle Person is a “Human Body” with a “Triangle Head”. The "Human Body" part wears a navy blue, no-nonsense swimsuit. The "Triangle Head" part wants YOU to know that they ARE a Beautiful Princess. Would you believe that some people don't think that's true? 

Triangle Person lives in the Parking Lot of Heaven. God lives right next door. He has never come by with a casserole though. But SERIOUSLY, Triangle Person doesn’t mind AT ALL. Triangle Person already has all the BFFs they will ever, ever need. Namely, Saint Mother Teresa (you know the one) and Killer Whale Tilikum (a.k.a. Chief Cumlord of the Seaworld Conglomerate). There is lots to do in the nice cloudy sky, many lives to slice, and luckily all the time in the world. A fuzzy-edged sibling drama for the only child, directed by Jason Nodler. (World Premiere.)Read more

Felizmente Tonas

“Felizmente Tonas” es un monólogo introspectivo, divertido y profundamente humano creado e interpretado por Lizzette Díaz, periodista, autora y creadora del movimiento Felizmente Tonas. En esta puesta en escena, Lizzette invita al público a mirarse al espejo sin miedo, a reconciliarse con la edad y a reírse de las arrugas, los olvidos y los cambios que llegan después de los 40, entendiendo que la plenitud no tiene fecha de vencimiento.

Durante 50 minutos de humor inteligente y reflexión, Lizzette combina anécdotas personales con mensajes inspiradores sobre autoestima, propósito y libertad emocional. A través de su estilo cercano, transparente y lleno de ironía, convierte experiencias cotidianas en lecciones de resiliencia y gratitud, logrando que cada espectadora se reconecte con su esencia y se sienta orgullosa de su historia.

Este año, el monólogo contará con la participación especial de Elina Rees, creadora de Resetéate; Evis Martínez, mentora de Tendencia Positiva; y Vania Galindo, autora del libro “El Match que cambió todo”, quienes acompañarán a Lizzette con mensajes poderosos sobre reinvención, actitud y bienestar.

“Felizmente Tonas” es más que una obra: es una celebración a la madurez, al humor y al coraje de seguir brillando en todas las etapas de la vida. Una noche para reír, reflexionar y recordar que ser tona es, sobre todo, ser feliz.Read more
