As part of this month’s neighborhood Paseo Artistico we are over la luna excited to have none other than Marga Gomez and Betty Pazmino performing in the front window of the bookstore!

Marga's sabrosa one person show “Spanish Stew” will premiere this year if she’s not arrested first. Follow @themargagomez on instagram unless she deletes it.
