The Wizards is a supernatural thriller play by Ricardo Gamboa, directed by Katrina Dion, about the histories and people that haunt us. Amado and Sam, a Brown and Black genderqueer couple, move back to Amado's hometown of Chicago after surviving a hate crime in NYC the day after the 2016 presidential election.

In their new apt. In the city's gentrifying Pilsen neighborhood, they find a Ouija board that puts them in touch with the ghosts of four boys that were members of "The Wizards," a Mexican American Motown cover band on the Southside during the 70s.

The Wizards will run October 14-November 26 at the historic A.P.O. Cultural Center. It was originally commissioned by the Goodman Theater while Gamboa was a member of the Playwrights Unit. Gamboa was inspired by their parents' stories of growing up in Pilsen during the 1970s.
