Solo Fest 2021 – Featuring Marga Gomez!

It’s nigh time for the 4th Annual PlayGround Solo Performance Festival, celebrating the work of intrepid solo performers as they harness their immense imaginations to captivate our attention for close to an hour — no small feat for a solitary creative in front of an attentive audience. This year’s festival boasts an impressive roster of personal storytelling, free-wheeling fiction, and docudrama dives into histories public and private.  We encourage you to catch every show at least once for the full experience, but to help you sift through the embarrassment of riches and learn a little more about our creatives, we asked our performers (and writers!) a few questions about their relationships with Solo Performance and PlayGround!

First up: featured headliner, nationally renowned queer creative Marga Gomez (she/they) and her piece Memory Tricks!

PG: Why is Solo Performance important to you?
MG: I’m an only child and need extra attention.

PG: How is the PlayGround Solo Fest helping you reach your artistic goals?
MG: In this endless pandemic Playground creates a virtual community for artists and audience that is incredibly inspiring.

PG: In one sentence, what should audiences expect from your show?
MG: A funny and heartbreaking portrait of a fabulously complex 1960’s Puerto Rican showgirl through the eyes of her lesbian child.

You have one chance to catch Marga’s show in the Solo Fest: opening weekend 1/22/2021 @ 7PM PT!
