Marga Gomez’s Spanish Stew
Spanish Stew is very funny but not stand-up comedy. The storytelling is set in 1976 and more about passion, freedom and family than mere nostalgia. After being outed by her flamboyant mother, young Marga, like a Latina Patty Hearst, escapes her New York home for 1976 San Francisco. When a survival restaurant job requires her to recreate a treasured family recipe, Marga’s Spanish Stew unites her with both her family of origin and her chosen San Francisco family of Queer, punk and avant-garde. Spanish Stew’s first work-in-progress performance was in August 2024 at The Marsh’s “In Front of Your Eyes Festival.” Its 2025 “World Premiere” took place at New Conservatory Theater, San Francisco.
