Marga Gomez's "Long Island Iced Latina"

The Marsh
San Francisco, CA

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.
