Zach gets into trouble when he is seduced by a mysterious woman with a space ship, and ends up earning the reputation of being a \u201cSpace Gigolo\u201d and gets demoted to the highly toxic waste management department where he ends up leading a revolution by accident. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Leard plays Zach, earnest and full of self deprecating charm, and also plays all the other characters in the play including Nick, Zach\u2019s burly Eastern European friend, sultry Alexandra, and the narrator of the piece, who describes certain scenes as they would appear in the action film version of the play. This is a difficult conceit to achieve but Leard infuses it with so much intensity and exuberance, the audience is taken right into the play\u2019s filmic alter-ego happily. Leard\u2019s exuberance also serves him well in his physical work and the specificity in his movement, especially when miming objects and providing fun sound effects. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">There are those who say that, for certain things, like action sequences for example, film is the superior art form but in<em> Zach Zultana: Space Gigolo<\/em> Fromstein and Leard prove that sometimes, or I would argue often, theatre is way more fun.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>TWISI FRINGE RATING:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/5_Star_Rating_System_4_and_a_half_stars6.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.twisitheatreblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/5_Star_Rating_System_4_and_a_half_stars6.png\" alt=\"5_Star_Rating_System_4_and_a_half_stars\" width=\"140\" height=\"25\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><em>Zach Zultana: Space Gigolo<\/em> plays at the Tarragon Theatre Mainspace (30 Bridgman Avenue) as part of the Toronto Fringe Festival at the following times:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>show times<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>July 10 at 11:00 PM \u00a0<a class=\"button small\" href=\"https:\/\/tff.tickets.red61.com\/listprices.php?performanceId=1066:1349\">buy tickets<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>July 11 at 12:30 PM \u00a0<a class=\"button small\" href=\"https:\/\/tff.tickets.red61.com\/listprices.php?performanceId=1066:1350\">buy tickets<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>jeff leard Zach Zultana: Space Gigolo is a high spirited<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4671],"tags":[4763,4762,4736,3747,4245],"class_list":["post-2606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-review","tag-jeff-leard","tag-ron-fromstein","tag-tarragon-theatre-mainspace","tag-toronto","tag-toronto-fringe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Zach Zultana: Space Gigolo - The Way I See It Theatre &amp;
