Gage Tarlton's Pretty Perfect Lives鈥攁 speculative-fiction play about identity, obsession, sexual exploration, internet addiction, and the dangers of turning life into content鈥攑lays a four-week engagement at Off-Broadway's Flea Theater beginning August 17.
Directed by Gabi Carrubba, the cast features Elizabeth Lail (You), Zane Phillips (Fire Island), and Nic Ashe (Queen Sugar).
Pretty Perfect Lives, which is set in the near future,
follows lifestyle influencer couple TIFFANY&TUCKER, whose
relationship is put to the test when they are selected to join the
Internet Reality Simulation-Project: a new digital program that allows
you to travel through different versions of your life via augmented
reality.
The show also has scenic and costume design by Josh
Oberlander, lighting and projection design by Zack Lobel, sound design
by Emma Hasselbach, production management by Erica Ammerman, and general
management by Wilson Plonk. Tyler Danhaus serves as production stage manager.
鈥淲e are so thrilled to bring Pretty Perfect Lives to life and to create theatre that is accessible for young people, by young people,鈥� said producers Allie Kench and Madison Thompson in an earlier joint statement. 鈥淲e fell in love with Gage鈥檚 script because it was the first time that we felt a piece of theatre explored the nuanced relationship between people and social media with both empathy and understanding of what we need as human beings. We hope that those who may be intrigued by, or have complicated relationships with, social media find humor and comfort in this exciting and unique play.鈥�
Hadestown's Jordan Fisher is serving as the play鈥檚 executive producer under his Sora Entertainment banner. Co-producers include Carter Kench, Davi Bryan, Happy Recap Productions, and Maxwell Whittington-Cooper.
Performances continue through September 8.
