Marga Gomez: Long Island Iced Latina
Wednesday, November 11
Museum of Contemporary Art Theater
220 E Chicago
7:30 – 8:30 pm
$15
Marga Gomez, whom Robin Williams deemed “a lesbian Lenny Bruce,” presents her latest solo theater piece in an exclusive Chicago performance. Long Island Iced Latina begins with a hilariously dark memoir of her time as the only brown girl in a white high school, then switches gears to deliver a manifesto for Latinos who can’t speak Spanish, suck at Salsa, and suffer from Blonditis. “We’re everywhere,” Gomez claims, “and we vote!” Long Island Iced Latina played to full houses at Miami’s South Beach Comedy Festival and New York’s Teatro Stagefest. One of the country’s first openly gay comedians, the award-winning Gomez is the author/performer of eight solo plays presented Off Broadway and internationally. She has appeared on LOGO, Comedy Central, HBO, PBS, and Showtime.
