A DP FUNDRAISER
MAINSTAGE Spanking Machine by Marga Gomez
About This Show
In “Spanking Machine’ writer/performer Marga Gomez tells the story of two queer cuban closeted kids in Washington Heights. “His real name was Agamemnon Perez Jr. but he shortened it to Scotty because he thought Agamemnon sounded too Cuban.” Scotty was the first boy Marga ever kissed and it made them gay forever.
Spanking Machine is a sometimes funny and sometimes painful memoir of growing up brown and queer. Childhood pranks, sexual assault and suppressed memory play their parts in Marga’s shiftacross gender, latitudes and generations.
