Spanking Machine Written & Performed by Marga Gomez

About This Show

Written & Performed by Marga Gomez
Directed by Adrian Alexander Alea


“You don’t want to ever go near the Spanking Machine. You don’t ever want to see it.” Scotty said. Then he noticed me, the tallest girl in third grade. “Margaret where have you been all my life?” No one had ever called me that before because it wasn’t my name. His real name was Agamemnon Perez Jr. but he shortened it to Scotty because he thought Agamemnon sounded too Cuban. ​

In Spanking Machine, GLAAD Award-winning writer/performer Marga Gomez shifts across gender, latitudes and generations in a darkly comic memoir about the first boy she ever sloppy-kissed and how it made them gay forever.

This Dixon Place commission is made possible, in part, with public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs with the City Council and NY State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov Andrew Cuomo and the NY State Legislature.
