Two struggling single mothers long for more than the tough life and small ambitions of Mexico City's community of petty hustlers and sex workers in Las Chicas del 3.5 Floppies, a fast-paced story with wit and energy. This vibrant and acclaimed play by the enfant terrible of the Mexican stage known as LEGOM is a raw and compelling portrayal of life in the underworld. Las Chicas is performed in Spanish with English super titles projected above the stage.

Running time: 50 minutes
No intermission
