The daughter of immigrants from Mexico,
Silvia Gonzalez S. (Scherer) was born in San Fernando, CA, and grew up in the
barrio of Pacoima, near Los Angeles. She attended Loyola Marymount University
of Los Angeles, studied abroad in Rome, and graduated from Loyola University of
Chicago. In 1989 her play Boxcar won at the
Multicultural Playwright's Festival with the Seattle Group Theatre. Gonzalez
has lived and worked in Arizona, Chicago—where she was a resident playwright
with Chicago Dramatists Workshop—and Portland, Oregon. Other plays written by
Gonzalez include: Alicia in Wonder Tierra (or, I Can't
Eat Goat Head), Don't Promise,
Los Matadores, The
Migrant Farmworker's Son, U Got the
Look, and Waiting Women.

Correspondence, clippings and news releases, photographs, printed material,
written works, course material and notes and sketches (1987-1993, 2.7 linear
feet) document the life and work of Chicana playwright Silvia Gonzalez S.
Series one, Correspondence, (4 folders) is both personal and
professional in nature. Clippings and News
Releases (1 folder) include announcements and descriptions of Gonzalez's
work, and a brief feature in the January 1992 Today's Chicago Woman "Women to Watch: 100 Women Making
an Impact on the Quality of Life in Chicago" article. The Photographs (1 folder) are black and white
professional portraits of Gonzalez. Printed
Material (2 folders) includes flyers and programs from performances of
Gonzalez's works. The largest series is Written
Works (52 folders) which contains drafts of various plays, including
multiple drafts of Boxcar (aka
The Empty Boxcar), Los
Matadores, Waiting Women,
The Migrant Farmworker's Son, and works by other
playwrights. The next two series contain material that predates Gonzales's
playwriting career: Course Materials (5
folders) contains handouts, notes and drawings from Gonzales's acting classes
and talent agency in Columbus, OH. Notes and
Sketches (4 folders) is composed of original cartoons drawn by Gonzalez,
as well as cartoons by others and notes on ideas for cartoons. There is also
one oversize piece, a poster for a production of
The Migrant Farmworker's Son.
