Shorty Castro Theater | 2017

The Shorty Castro is a small theater run by a lively group of stand-up comedians who are well-loved on the island. They noticed that during their “Noche de Jevas” (Beauties’ Night) events—dedicated to female stand-ups and a mostly female audience—women would go all out, dressing up for the occasion. These nights were always sold out, and the team felt the theater needed a bit of a glow-up to match the energy of the crowd.
That’s when they called in Sophie Aurélie for a quick but impactful makeover. With a tight budget and limited time, she gave the space a fresh, stylish upgrade. The Art Deco theme was the perfect choice—it blended well with the existing 1980s architecture while adding a touch of elegance. Some original features were reworked, while key decorative elements were added to bring the vision to life.
The transformation had an immediate effect. The bartenders naturally stepped up their style, the atmosphere felt more polished, and even the audience vibe shifted. Space Design didn’t just change the look of the theater—it changed the whole experience. The owners loved the results so much that they called Sophie Aurélie back a few years later for another creative project.
