About the Show

A heartfelt tribute to the '80s and the genuine cartoons, music, and superheroes of that time.

Cowl Girl consistently dons a Batman cowl, concealing herself from the external environment. Can Jason, her friend, and Alex, her arch-enemy's fascinating nephew, encourage her to emerge from her seclusion? If you're a fan of 80's pop culture, Pee-wee Herman, science fiction, and comic book champions, then this is the show for you!

Quirky, Heartfelt

See it if small scale show with an interesting story idea that's a little rough around the edges

Don't see it if some over the top sitcomish acting, script needs work Read more

Enchanting, Entertaining, Delightful, Clever, Absorbing

See it if ...you enjoy comic book/action figure culture presented as a background for a beautiful, personal story of love and grief.

Don't see it if ...you have mobility issues, the theater is a two flight walk up.

Critic Reviews (1)

Although press materials play up the comedy, the show is at its best when it gets serious, as when Cowl Girl (played with gusto by Yessenia Rivas) uses action figures to illustrate a sad memory. Ms. Capunay would do well to do more scenes like that and maybe pull back on some of the pop culture references, although they are fun. Those references are stunningly specific, including one about a piece of Clint Howard memorabilia (a veteran actor who made a memorable appearance on the original 'Star Trek," and is also Ron Howard's brother).
