About MuChuChu

Jacque Arend and Xchel Hernandez Zendejas have shared the stage for many years building an amazing chemistry and trust. They both attended the iO Chicago Summer Intensive in 2005 and returned to Phoenix performing together immediately, by chance, as the myth is that Xchel would turn to stone if he made friends that summer. In 2006 the two of them along with four other members formed The Light Rail Pirates and performed and rehearsed regularly for a solid four years.

In 2012 through a substitution in a Cagematch at The Torch Theatre, MuChuChu was born. That summer MuChuChu found its voice as a two person Harold. Jacque & Xchel use high energy, strong commitment and tons of risk taking to achieve this lofty goal. Their attempts brought great success as they had a nine week winning streak until Xchel moved away. Now they are two star crossed improvisors longing for a day when they can re-unite on stage to bring back the electrical charge that is MuChuChu.
