guac

The company’s “CTG:FWD” programming includes three shows at the Kirk Douglas: “Puppet Up! — Uncensored,” an audience-driven affair featuring creations from the Jim Henson Co., running July 16-27; “Guac,” writer and star Manuel Oliver’s one-man show, from the father of a son who was killed in the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., running Oct. 14-Nov.

He remembers that the guac was good at this establishment and, once it finally arrives, confirms that it is.

We'd barely ordered chips and guac when I blurted to my Aunt Brigid, "Did you know my mother had another child?"

Maybe that's why it's taken so long to recognize my limits, and to reconsider my embarrassment about uttering the word "medium" when the waiter asks how I'd like my guac.

The searing re-enactment of the shooting was part of “Guac: The One Man Show,” a show about Joaquin that Oliver has been performing around the nation, and that he brought this month to the Theater Row Studio Theater in Manhattan.
