Stage Fresh

Theatre Communications Group: Theatre people don't run restaurants, and (as my mom might chime in) why should they? There are plays to satisfy the tastes of all kinds of theatregoers. Shakespearean tragedies tickle different taste buds than American dramas of the '50s, while Gilbert and Sullivan musicals have fluffier consistencies than plays by German expressionists. Today one can easily choose the play, movie or media source that most suits one's taste range. But what about broadening your palate? Sometimes a play—or a dish—pleasantly surprises.
