Pico de Gallo: The TCU Show

Picture
The Original PICO DE GALLO: THE COMEDY CON SPICE!

Pico de Gallo: The Comedy con Spice! by Oscar Contreras, Marco Rodriguez, Christopher Espinosa and Israel Luna, was a brand new sketch comedy / cabaret / singing show dealing with the “Melting Pot” in United States and how food brings all our different cultures together. Pico de Gallo was written, directed and produced by local Latino talent and starred a multi-cultural cast. Pico de Gallo was written specifically to raise money for La Lupe: My Life, My Destiny. Martice wanted a little show of their own to keep costs low in order to raise funds for La Lupe. They met with the writers to discuss what the show was going to be about. There was only one idea on the table. The show was going to feature a drag queen as the main character. Enter the writers: Chris Espinosa is a comedian/writer founder of Sky Rocket Press and Israel Luna is a screenwriter/director founder of La Luna Entertainment, a film production company.  Marco Rodriguez is Martice's co-producer/actor and Oscar Contreras is a director/actor that had written a few short stories before, but had never been produced. Pico de Gallo was Marco Rodriguez and Oscar Contreras' writing debut. Pico de Gallo was also Oscar Contreras' directorial debut. To Martice's delight, Pico de Gallo was a hit, with sold-out shows and critical acclaim. Martice developed a Christmas version of Pico de Gallo, which performed for one night on December 11 2003. Martice has also performed Pico de Gallo for Southern Methodist University, FDIC and Hispanic Women's Network.

What the critics said about the Original Pico de Gallo in 2003:

“…the tiny Martice Enterprises acting troupe delivers more sassy, funny, provocative entertainment than many local theaters do with big budgets and huge productions in a whole season…short in funds they may be, but man, they’re loaded with talent.”
- Elaine Liner, The Dallas Observer

“Pico de Gallo, a zesty treat… It’s refreshingly honest…”
- Tom Sime, The Dallas Morning News

“Pico de Gallo is one spicy show.”
- Perry Stewart, The Fort Worth Star Telegram

“…original, funny, provocative. It’s slickly produced and well-costumed.”
- Robert Ross, The Dallas Voice
