"The New Conservatory Theatre Center (NCTC) is excited to serve up the next bowl of bold and fresh queer theatre with the world premiere of Marga Gomez's flavor-packed, autobiographical treat Spanish Stew, directed by Richard A. Mosqueda. After being outed by her flamboyant mother, young Gomez, like a Latina Patty Hearst, escapes her New York home for 1976 San Francisco with her first love, aka her "friend from college.""
"Spanish Stew is a one-woman show starring Gomez as herself. In addition to Mosqueda, the creative team includes sound and projection design by Lana Palmer, costume design by Corrida Godbold, lighting design by Nic Candito, stage management by Taylor Mendez, and set design by AshleyMéndez. Playwright Gomez is a GLAAD Award-winning writer/performer of fifteen solo plays, which have been presented nationally, Off-Broadway, internationally, and in the Bay Area at NCTC, The Marsh, Brava Theater, Theater Rhinoceros, Playground, and The Magic Theater."
The New Conservatory Theatre Center presents the world premiere of Marga Gomez's Spanish Stew, directed by Richard A. Mosqueda. The autobiographical story follows a young Gomez who is outed by her flamboyant mother and flees New York for 1976 San Francisco with her first love, a "friend from college." A survival restaurant job requiring a treasured family recipe reconnects Gomez with her family of origin and her queer, punk, and avant-garde San Francisco family. The one-woman show stars Gomez and features a creative team including Lana Palmer, Corrida Godbold, Nic Candito, Taylor Mendez, and AshleyMéndez. The play originated from a 2024 San Francisco Arts Council Individual Artist Grant. Gomez is a GLAAD Award-winning writer/performer with fifteen solo plays and extensive stage, film, and television credits.
