Watch what you eat

When I lived in DC, I spent a lot of time in small, black boxes. Beyond all the giant marble columns and clumps of navy suits is a passionate arts scene, tenacious and willing to perform anywhere it can find a space, from bars to basements to actual theaters. Were it not for my theatrical friends, I would have missed Patrick Stewart playing Othello, improvised musicals about the core of the earth, and I would not know how to say "Gewurtzstraminer".
Now that I'm a bit more careered-up and domestic I don't have as much time to check out shows as I used to, but I try to see something once a month and San Francisco certainly has no lack of things to see. We also have no lack of tasty things to eat, and yet we do not have the Food Theater Project, where my pioneering colleague Sarah Chasis will be talking on Thursday the 25th. With cupcakes!
The performance is called "Milk-N-Honey" and it's looking at how we love food and at the same time, our food choices shape the world we live in. After the show, Sarah's going to talk about keeping fish in the sea and eating them. If ever there was a time when I should be able to expense a trip to NYC for cupcakes and theater, this should be it, but alas, I have work to do here. But you should go. Go and tell me how it is.
