| Description |
The Marsh presents Marga Gomez's Long Island Iced Latina Drama Desk nominee and GLAAD Award Winning solo performer Marga Gomez's work-in- progress is an intoxicating comedic memoir of her awkward adolescence in Massapequa, Long Island. Gomez mixes equal parts cultural confusion, chronic virginity, mother-daughter instability and a splash of polyester fashion to paint a sardonic picture of her uprooted life as the new brown girl in a white high school. Long Island Iced Latina is being developed for a June 9th presentation in New York at Joes Pub.
Lydias Funeral Video (20 minute excerpt)- Asian American Theater and Bindlestiff alumni Samantha Chanse depicts a not so distant future when abortions are legal only within twenty-eight days of conception. Apocalypse-obsessed Lydia Clark-Lin is doggedly pursuing a career in monetary units when a mysterious being claiming to be an hours-old embryo invades her dreams, announces that Lydia is both pregnant and dying, and commands her to create a video to be screened at her funeral before terminating the pregnancy. Lydia seems to be losing her job and her mind, a deadline fast approaches, the end of the world beckons, and hecklers loom on the San Francisco horizon. A sold-out full production of Lydias Funeral Video premiered at the Dark Room theater and was directed by Wilma Bonet. This piece is performed live.NOTE: No one under 17 years old will be admitted.
