The story behind the show, which was created by 23-year-old San Francisco \u003ca href=\"http://www.jamiezee.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jazz vocalist Jamie Zee\u003c/a>, is as surprising as the revelation that Soskin spent about a decade as a guitar-strumming singer-songwriter who embraced music as a vehicle for social change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tunes started to emerge unbidden after she experienced an emotional breakdown. Without any kind of ambition or plans to perform, Soskin “began writing music before I realized it,” she said. Facing extraordinary pressures raising four Black children in the majority-white suburb of Walnut Creek, she turned to songwriting for succor. This was the early 1960s, when a local principal hosted an elementary school fundraiser where he thought nothing of performing in blackface in a minstrel-style show. “I never did publish anything,” Soskin said. “It’s just that I think music was saving me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many ways Soskin has never been more visible. Last month her 100th birthday was greeted by a massive wave of attention that focused mostly on her late-blooming work as a park ranger. After a lifetime of racial justice activism, she stepped into a new role to make sure that the Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond encompassed the experiences of many different East Bay communities. [aside postid='news_11889493']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If music was mentioned in her centennial celebration, it was usually in the context of her role launching the first Black-owned record store west of the Mississippi in 1945 with her husband Mel Reid, Reid’s Records in South Berkeley. East Bay artists also fondly remember her presiding over the \u003ca href=\"https://www.theroot.com/the-root-cities-oaklands-hip-hop-activism-1790881147\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nu Upper Room\u003c/a> in East Oakland in the early 1990s when it became a crucial incubator for Bay Area hip-hop talent. Did she ever think of picking up the microphone herself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think I even identified myself as an artist,” she said. “I was an administrator. I don’t think I recognized myself as a singer. That was just a phase I was going through.” [aside postid='arts_13850266']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a phase that resonated with the time. As the singer-songwriter movement took shape at the end of the 1960s, Soskin began playing at colleges and community events around the region, channeling all of her anger, angst, pain and love into her songs. “I could sing things I couldn’t say,” she said. “If they were said, they would be too harsh. If they were sung, people would hear them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just as suddenly as she started writing songs, Soskin put her music away in the early 1970s, resolutely closing that chapter of her life.

The story behind the show, which was created by 23-year-old San Francisco \u003ca href=\"http://www.jamiezee.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">jazz vocalist Jamie Zee\u003c/a>, is as surprising as the revelation that Soskin spent about a decade as a guitar-strumming singer-songwriter who embraced music as a vehicle for social change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tunes started to emerge unbidden after she experienced an emotional breakdown. Without any kind of ambition or plans to perform, Soskin “began writing music before I realized it,” she said. Facing extraordinary pressures raising four Black children in the majority-white suburb of Walnut Creek, she turned to songwriting for succor. This was the early 1960s, when a local principal hosted an elementary school fundraiser where he thought nothing of performing in blackface in a minstrel-style show. “I never did publish anything,” Soskin said. “It’s just that I think music was saving me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In many ways Soskin has never been more visible. Last month her 100th birthday was greeted by a massive wave of attention that focused mostly on her late-blooming work as a park ranger. After a lifetime of racial justice activism, she stepped into a new role to make sure that the Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historical Park in Richmond encompassed the experiences of many different East Bay communities. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"news_11889493","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If music was mentioned in her centennial celebration, it was usually in the context of her role launching the first Black-owned record store west of the Mississippi in 1945 with her husband Mel Reid, Reid’s Records in South Berkeley.

As the singer-songwriter movement took shape at the end of the 1960s, Soskin began playing at colleges and community events around the region, channeling all of her anger, angst, pain and love into her songs. “I could sing things I couldn’t say,” she said. “If they were said, they would be too harsh.

The only survivor from the Galatea, a long-destroyed space shuttle, Seventy-One is encouraged by a pair of amiable doctors to remember the events that led them to escaping the fate that befell the rest of their crewmates.

First there were midday comedy brunches, then afternoon “high tea,” a Cinco de Mayo bash, a birthday party doubling as a political fundraiser, and, most recently, 30-minute “queer quickies” with co-host, the fabulous Jesús U.

Combining clips from her invited dress rehearsal at Brava with live performance, telling a story of a long-lost friend, and a dark secret from the past.

And the tellers of those tales shine all the brighter, as inspiring beacons against the gloom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, some of our most consistently resilient performers are those who built their reputations not in the “traditional” performance spaces downtown, but in their own neighborhoods, creating work by, for, and of the communities that inspired them and called them their own. One neighborhood that’s long been a bastion for these community-rooted artists is the Mission District, and two of its long-term survivors—Marga Gomez and Campo Santo—are not letting the pandemic slow them down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One part comedian, one part solo performer, one part consummate host and all parts wholly original, Marga Gomez is resilience personified. Holding it down in a liminal space straddling the Castro and the Mission District since the early 1980s, her resume is a wild ride through some of San Francisco’s most memorable cultural highlights. From taking the stage at the first-ever Folsom Street Fair (then called “Megahood”) to working with the long-running San Francisco Mime Troupe, and then being pulled into the first incarnation of Latinx comedy supergroup Culture Clash by Rene Yanez, Gomez has continued to make her mark by always evolving her craft to fit the circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of my career has been accidents…opportunities…that I adapted to,” she admits with her signature, gap-toothed smile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13883622\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13883622\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/MargaGomez_LatinStandards_PhotoCredit_Fabian_Echevarria-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/MargaGomez_LatinStandards_PhotoCredit_Fabian_Echevarria-800x534.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/MargaGomez_LatinStandards_PhotoCredit_Fabian_Echevarria-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/MargaGomez_LatinStandards_PhotoCredit_Fabian_Echevarria-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/MargaGomez_LatinStandards_PhotoCredit_Fabian_Echevarria-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/MargaGomez_LatinStandards_PhotoCredit_Fabian_Echevarria-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/MargaGomez_LatinStandards_PhotoCredit_Fabian_Echevarria-1920x1281.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/07/MargaGomez_LatinStandards_PhotoCredit_Fabian_Echevarria.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marga Gomez performs in her 12th solo show, ‘Latin Standards.’ \u003ccite>(Fabian Echevarria)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Even being shut down on opening night for her 13th solo show—\u003cem>The Spanking Machine\u003c/em>, at Brava Theater Center—couldn’t dim Gomez’ creative spark.

First there were midday comedy brunches, then afternoon “high tea,” a Cinco de Mayo bash, a birthday party doubling as a political fundraiser, and, most recently, 30-minute “queer quickies” with co-host, the fabulous Jesús U.

Now scheduled as part of Dixon Place’s long-running LQBTQ+ HOT! Festival, Gomez takes the virtual stage from home. Combining clips from her invited dress rehearsal at Brava with live performance, telling a story of a long-lost friend, and a dark secret from the past. Like her other solo shows, it’s intensely personal, often hilarious, and paints a vivid picture of Gomez’ particular experience: an out-gay, Latinx comic, living a life brimming with equal measures of serendipity and struggle.

More than a “writers” theater, Campo Santo has nonetheless cultivated a pantheon of great writers, from Luís Saguar to Luis Alfaro, Chinaka Hodge to Star Finch. More than an “actors” theater, Campo Santo has embraced the plurality of its community, and created opportunities for first-time performers and professionals alike. To be a member of Campo Santo might take years of exploring where you fit in, the ability to transform and grow in new directions. A journey embodied by ten-year veteran of the company A.M.
