This one-person extravaganza leaves you in awe (and laughter), as Torrens embodies a cast of characters that make you forget you’re watching just a single performer. Written and starred by Luca Torrens, the show’s premise sounds familiar, but this show takes unexpected turns. Jean isn’t just a cowboy searching for validation from a stern Sheriff; they’re on a journey of self-discovery, grappling with morals, acceptance, and the complexities of being queer in a world dominated by tradition and that sometimes feels as vast and uncharted as the Wild West. With a flick of a wrist and a twang in their voice, Torrens morphs into a charming array of characters. Buttermilk, the trusty horse sidekick, steals scenes with puppetry and personality that will have you believing horses can indeed converse in more than neighs. Furthermore, Torrens’ beautifully sung melodies capture the essence of the different characters’ struggles and triumphs, creating a melodic journey that resonates.

We have just been to Edinbufgh fringe and this show would fit right in amongst those shows.Talented actress , good humane story though a bit bizarre I was entertained this evening though my partner was not so sure. Great singing voice and some good songs. 👍

A tender, funny coming of age tale set against the backdrop of the mythical old west, inventively presented by Luca Torrens as Cowboy Jean, with faithful horse Buttermilk. Luca’s charm and original songs keep us entranced through this quest for respect via displays of vulnerability not typically found in the rugged, testosterone laden domain of cis/het American masculinity. Refreshingly subversive without being abrasive. Be sure to catch the final SF Fringe performance on Thursday, 8/17.

HOWDY, STRANGER, is a one person (plus hobby horse) cowboy adventure- with songs. Torrens constructs a good yarn, following the traditional structure of a good fairy tale while reinventing some of the cliches and archetypes along the way, building to first one twist, then another. Their delivery is consistent, often amusing, and always engaging. Their singing voice is strong and clear, and the songs are tight, lyrical, and capture the ambience of a cowboy tale so well that one wishes there were more of them. Still, with simple but appropriate props and costumes, and aided by touches of light and sound, Torrens sets a tone and whisks you away, however briefly, to the open plains and a simpler time of horses, trains, magic, and mystery.

I LOVED this show!! It is a sweet, silly, funny, warm, cautionary tale(of sorts) and is REALLY well performed. Luca has a lovely singing voice, and the show is peppered with funny songs. And…i LOVE…Buttercup?…the horse…Yeigh!!!

Cowboy contemplation: Luca Torrens plays the SF Fringe FestivalGo west, young them!
A gregarious spirit of pioneering and possibility animates “Howdy, Stranger” creator-performer Luca Torrens’ solo show, which they describe as “a transmasculine Western.”
“It’s like a live cartoon,” said Torrens, 23, describing the 50-minute show in an interview with the Bay Area Reporter. “It’s a little ridiculous and I loooove doing it.”
The musical tall tale of a cowboy named Jean who wants to be a lawman but has an aversion to gunplay feels a bit like “Pee Wee’s Playhouse,” but sweeter and more sincere. Beneath its silly surface, Torrens has incorporated themes with strong personal resonance.
“I’m not sure whether Jean is a guy or is transmasculine —which is what I consider myself— but he’s definitely queer … more at https://www.ebar.com/story.php?ch=events&sc=arts_events&id=327312

Hilarious, Captivating, and Exciting. I simply can’t express how much I enjoyed this show. I was so engaged and having a blast being along for the wild ride. I’m sure anyone else who’s had the privilege to see it feels so lucky to have been able to, just like I do. I can guarantee a fantastic experience; Luca Torrens is capable of nothing less.

THE most laughs I’ve had all year. Filled with suspense, mystery, cowboy essence, and music, this piece has got to be the best piece of short theatre I’ve experienced all year.
