now extended through August 17, 2025

By Jane Wagner
Directed by Jennifer King †

Starring Marga Gomez

 

Intimate. Infamous. Incorrigible.

Through the eyes of a lovable and eccentric bag lady with a sharp wit and a heart as vast as the cosmos she ponders, Wagner weaves a rich tapestry of interconnected stories that celebrate a mosaic of humanity in all its beauty, chaos, and contradiction. Marga Gomez plays a whole cast of quirky and unforgettable characters, revealing the invisible threads that connect us all.

Aurora Theatre Company and many of our Bay Area theater colleagues stand in strong support of the ACLU’s lawsuit against the National Endowments for the Arts that challenges new guidelines that deem applications for projects that appear to “promote” what the federal government deems “gender ideology” ineligible for funding.
