SUMMARY:Marga Gomez - Latin Standards
DESCRIPTION:\nAfter coast to coast critical acclaim “Latin Standards
 ” comes to Berkeley. Gomez’s 12th and final work in the solo perfo
 rmance genre mixes social commentary and comic edge in the loving, fun
 ny and true story of perseverance and creative addiction passed down f
 rom immigrant father to lesbian daughter.\nAs an impractical tribute t
 o the memory of her father, a blustery Cuban showman, Marga defies rea
 son and launches a hipster comedy night at “Esta Noche,” a doomed 
 Mission district Latino drag club, during the onset of San Francisco�
 �s gentrification crisis. Always optimistic Marga declares  “Esta 
 Noche might smell like bleach and urinal cake now. But potpurri can fi
 x that.  I’ll buy all the potpourri in town. Because my father taug
 ht me you have to spend money to make money!” \n\n\nWriter/ perform
 er Marga Gomez is a GLAAD award and LA Ovation Award-winning writer/p
 erformer of 12 solo plays which have been presented nationally at The 
 Public Theater, La Mama ETC, Dixon Place, The Whitney Museum and inter
