Brent Lang Executive Editor Elizabeth Lail, Zane Phillips and Nic Asheare set to star in the off Broadway premiere of “Pretty Perfect Lives,” a look at sexual exploration, internet addiction and the dangers of turning life into content.

Performances will begin Aug. 17 at The Flea Theater for a limited four-week engagement that will end on Sept. 8. The show was written by Gage Tarlton, who is best known for his digital play “xXPonyBoyDerekXx.” Lail co-starred in the hit series, “You,” while Phillips appeared in “Fire Island” and Nic Ash co-starred on “Queen Sugar.” “Pretty Perfect Lives”is set in the near future, as the relationship of a lifestyle influencer couple, Tiffany&Tucker, is put to the ultimate test when they are selected to join the Internet Reality Simulation-Project (IRS-P): a new digital program that allows you to travel through different versions of your life via augmented reality.

The couple join the program to deal with the issues arising in their relationship, but what’s actually waiting for them is far more than they bargained for. “Pretty Perfect Lives”has already earned numerous accolades — it was a Terrence McNally Incubator Fellowship finalist, as well as a Eugene O’Neill Theater Center’s National Playwrights Conference finalist.

It was initially developed with La MaMa ETC in 2023. Gabi Carrubba will direct the world-premiere production; her additional directorial work in theater include Jacob Wasson’s “Smuta,” her incubation play series, “Dogtown” as well as work at Manhattan Theater Club, Soho Playhouse, and other locations throughout New York. “We are so thrilled to bring ‘Pretty Perfect Lives’ to life and to create theater that is accessible for young people, by young people,” said producers.
