The Marsh Opens LOVEBIRDS Workshop Tonight
By: BWW News Desk Oct. 17, 2013
The Marsh presents LOVEBIRDS, the tenth solo show from GLAAD Award-winning solo theatre artist and comedian Marga Gomez, which will receive workshop performances at The Marsh San Francisco this fall. In LOVEBIRDS, Gomez takes audiences back to the seductive seventies with a series of vignettes, featuring incurable romantics pursuing their hearts' desires. Wilfredo dreams of Carmencita, a singer with a tin ear married to an academic who never sleeps and is never fully awake. On the other side of town, Wilfredo's daughter cuts off her hair, changes her name to Dahlia, and discovers The Joy of Lesbian Sex. Weaving through the tangled web is Philly, with her trusted Polaroid Land Camera, capturing special moments for five bucks a pop. Following its workshop run, LOVEBIRDS will return to The Marsh San Francisco for its 2014 world premiere. The show was previously developed in San Francisco at Monday Night Marsh and Bruce Pachtman's Solo Sundays, and in New York City at Participant Gallery NYC and Dixon Place.
