Theatre
Farro's launch to fame was in 2007 after being discovered by the Argentine theatre producer Gerardo Sofovich in the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo. He signed Farro to his theatre company for two years in which she performed in his comedy No somos santas and his musical comedy Le Referi Cornud. In 2008 she was cast by Sofovich to co-star in the magazine La Fiesta Está En El Lago alongside dancer Valeria Archimó and actress-dancer Adabel Guerrero, with all three writing. It was produced and directed by Sofovich, and also directed by René Bertrand.{{cite web|title="Le Referi Cornud" Llega al Teatro Tabarís|url=http://teatroenargentina.blogspot.com/2008/07/le-referi-cornud-llega-al-teatro.html|first=Santiago Katriel|last=Da Silva Villarrubia|date=July 8, 2008|accessdate=November 26, 2012|language=Spanish}}{{cite web|title=No somos santas - Gerardo Sofovich|url=http://www.alternativateatral.com/obra9242-no-somos-santas|first=Santiago Katriel|last=Da Silva Villarrubia|date=|accessdate=November 26, 2012|language=Spanish}}{{cite web|title=Adabel Guerrero - Mónica Farro y Archimó en Carlos Paz.|url=http://www.flvmp3.org/video/G4nHSSs63kA/Adabel%20Guerrero%20-%20Monica%20Farro%20y%20Archimo%20en%20Carlos%20Paz.html|work=Pablo Layus|first=Santiago Katriel|last=Da Silva Villarrubia|date=21 December 2008|accessdate=October 6, 2012|language=Spanish|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140422030749/http://www.flvmp3.org/video/G4nHSSs63kA/Adabel%20Guerrero%20-%20Monica%20Farro%20y%20Archimo%20en%20Carlos%20Paz.html|archive-date=22 April 2014|url-status=dead}}
In 2009 Farro was signed into Carmen Barbieri's theatre company and was the protagonist of two of her magazines, Fantástica in the 2009-10 theatrical season and Bravísima in the 2010–11 season, both as the First Vedette.{{cite web|title=Funciones de Bravísima – Teatro Atlas, Mar del Plata|date=25 November 2010 |url=http://mazcue.com/funciones-bravisima-teatro-atlas-mar-del-plata/|accessdate=October 5, 2012|language=Spanish}} Farro decided not to sign for another year in the company, because she wasn't pleased with some of her cast members, especially Uruguayan actress-dancer and fashion model, Andrea Ghidone and Greek-Argentine amateur glamour model and media-showbiz personality, Victoria Xipolitakis. Barbieri commented that she would have Farro back for the 2013-14 summer season at all costs.{{cite web|title=Mónica Farro: "No hubiera aceptado quedarme con este elenco"|url=http://www.haceinstantes.net/2012/03/monica-farro-no-hubiera-aceptado.html|accessdate=October 5, 2012|language=Spanish}}
After four years of doing classical revue musicals, Farro was called in 2011 to lead and debut as a supervedette and as her own producer in an alternative revue show mixed with musical comedy with Negro Álvarez, touring all of Argentina and parts of Uruguay.{{cite web|title=Mortal - Diario EL PAIS - Montevideo, Uruguay|date=10 April 2012 |url=http://www.elpais.com.uy/suplemento/sabadoshow/mortal/sshow_635490_120414.html|accessdate=October 5, 2012|language=Spanish}}
