Marga Gomez

Review: SPANISH STEW at New Conservatory Theatre Center
by Steve Murray - Oct 27, 2025

Eight-year-old Marga Gomez should’ve paid more attention when her Latino parents tried to teach her how to cook. For the father, it’s a matter of cultural pride, the mother, a means to catch a man. Fast forward to 1976 when she desperately needs the recipe to Caldo Gallego (Spanish stew) to secure a cook’s job at San Francisco’s ACME Café. It’s just one of the many heartfelt anecdotes included in comic legend Marga Gomez’s lesbian coming out story making a World Premiere at NCTC.
