Costa Rica’s Teatro La Polea returns with its sensational hit, The Immigrant by César Meléndez. Direct from Spain, Factoría Teatro presents Family Under Construction by Gonzala Martin Sherman. From Argentina, comedian Perla Laske brings I Can’t Live Without a Maid. And our last "embrace" marks the return of Uruguay’s No. 1 comedian, Petru Valenski, in Petru: All By Himself, a U.S. premiere by Omar Varela.

I Can’t Live Without a Maid |
|
|
written & interpreted by Perla Laske |
|
directed by
Pablo Shilton |
|
|
|
Within a gallery of recognizable and loveable characters – maids and mistresses – humor moves through this fine and tender interpretation of Perla Laske. This work skips across the zaniness of a world that shows us, beyond the laughter, a well-known social landscape. If a maid is part of a family, then living without a maid is to live without part of oneself.

The one and only!...One more time... he’s here once again! The lord of humor! To call him a wizard is not enough! Why does Uruguay feel a difference? Because it has Petru Valenski but today he’s here. Petru all by himself in cabaret!
