The Marsh Berkeley welcomes audiences to the pulse of 1976 with Marga Gomez’s Spanish Stew, the acclaimed writer/performer’s 15th solo work. The comedy follows Gomez’s youthful history when, after being abruptly outed by her flamboyant mother, young Marga flees her parents in Manhattan and follows her college girlfriend to San Francisco. After they break up in the Haight over dietary differences, Marga finds new girlfriends, cults, weird roommates, and a survival job at a bohemian cafe where she must recreate a treasured family recipe to stay in San Francisco. Spanish Stew overflows with warmth, wit and revelations over families of origin and the Bay Area Queer, punk and radical families we choose.
The Marsh Berkeley is at 2120 Allston Way, Berkeley, CA.
