What would you do if you stepped into your apartment in a ginormous strap-on expecting to have ravenous sexual intercourse with a beautiful woman and instead walk into a room full of people staring at you? ASÍ is an overconfident lesbian playboy, with a serious case of toxic masculinity. As the play develops, Así comes to realize that the solo show they’ve stumbled upon is not so solo after all, and they must wrestle (WWE-style) with their internalized machismo, longing for true love, and their childhood rival in order to break familial cycles in this form-defying piece of dyke theater.

    A gripping semi-solo show. I want to see this produced with all the effects written in the stage directions. A play about dealing with the past and accepting the present.

    Así brilliantly breaks the expectations of a one-person show, melding comedy, personal insight, and WWE wrestling in a thoroughly dynamic way. In this heart-stopping piece, Garcia's sharp wit melds with personal hardship in a way that will break your heart. READ THIS PLAY, you will fall in love with Así and the story it has to tell!

ASÍ
A 20-something fictionalized version of myself, Isa Garcia. A Texan butch cowboy. The embodiment of lesbian machismo.


RAIDEN
Así’s cousin. A little older than Así. A stern military man, but a reformed bully at heart. Forever fan of WWE.


THE ANNOUNCER/INTERVIEWER
Vince McMahon-type of guy. A caricature. If Announcer/Interviewer is a real person, could be a crew member. If not, just a voiceover.


THE AUDIENCE
Always different. Spectators and active participators in every show. Not meant to be cast, literally whoever shows up to watch the show.
