I love it when a show's title catches my eye and makes me want to find out more. In the case of "Pussy" by Maura Halloran, the title drew me in and the description makes me want to see it.
If you are free tomorrow night, check out "Pussy" as part of the United Solo Theatre Festival.

Announcing the New York return of PUSSY, a one-woman show about a lesbian couple, their overly curious landlady and one highly opinionated cat. After a sold-out show on October 9, PUSSY was invited back to UNITED SOLO to encore November 20 at 7:30 PM.

About the show...
PUSSY follows the tangled heartaches and misadventures of Leslie and Jo, a lesbian couple teetering on the brink of a breakup. Jo is lolling about in Spain, Leslie is crying about it in Vancouver, their vaguely homophobic but strongly “curious” landlady, Ana is listening with crossed arms from the apartment below - but no one has stronger opinions on the matter than Leslie’s pet cat, “Pussy.”
Very loosely based on true events, this piece is a tribute to the tribulations of trying to find your own groove when you don't like the music. It’s a tale of love, sex, love-sex, hate-sex, online dating, postal mail, vampires, unicorns, how to forgive The Church, how softball can save your life, and three outsiders whose fates triangulate around one spectacular cat.
