You're invited to join the conversation!

Throughout the season, we host Around the Kitchen Table events for each production, including pre-show and post-show talks with community leaders, subject experts, and originating artists to deepen the conversation. In addition to these insightful discussions, you might also experience performances by local artists and events hosted in collaboration with our community partners. These gatherings offer a unique opportunity to engage with the themes of the show, connect with fellow audience members, and celebrate the vibrant arts community in our region. Around the Kitchen Table events are free and open to the public.

Kitchen Table Talk: On Saturday May 17th, we welcome Ellen Abrams, a writer, meditation teacher, and longtime therapist whose work explores the intersection of grief, care, and contemplative practice. She’ll lead a post-show conversation beginning around 8:45 PM.
