Congratulations to all the team involved — and a shout-out to T.A. major Carlos Jose Gonzalez —  in director Kirsten Brandt‘s production of My Mañana Comes, a Bay Area premiere. Called “a wistful (but not sugarcoated) portrait of four rich, layered characters” by TimeOut New York, it speaks to issues of our times — and all times. Here’s a recent review:

The severity of the minimum wage crisis and rights for undocumented restaurant workers lie at the forefront of the Bay Area Premiere of Elizabeth Irwin’s My Mañana Comes at Marin Theatre Company. As a 2013-14 Playwrights Realm Writing Fellow, Ms. Irwin debuted Mañana Off-Broadway last September at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater. Though Mañana is no fairy tale, it offers a fresh take on a story about four busboys’ pursuit of the “American Dream” and a sociopolitical commentary on the solidarity of the working class. 

The play runs from October 29 – November 22. Click the following link for details. http://www.marintheatre.org/
