Sex, chocolate, death. Two women share the same man and the same recipe in Hunger, a new play that explores obsession, narcissism and consumerism. Audiences at Hunger will be immersed in an intoxicating world of desserts, desire and excess in a unique and unconventional look at who we are as Americans. The evening begins as the audience participates in a wine tasting and ends in a shared feast of cream and chocolate. This is an experience as much as it is a play. Hunger is for ages 18 and up.

Big Night
Monday, September 26, 2011
In this witty drama, a pair of brothers debate integrity versus compromise as they try to succeed in the restaurant business. Primo and Secondo have journeyed from Italy to New Jersey in the mid-1950s, determined to make a killing with an authentic Italian restaurant, The Paradise. But their food is a bit too authentic; Primo may prepare a superb risotto, but most of his customers are wondering why they can't get a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. The restaurant is failing and the two brothers gamble on one special night to try to save the business.
