Corningworks' latest Glue Factory Project production, which premieres Wednesday at the North Side's New Hazlett Theater, aims to deliciously change all that.
The dance-theater event "Recipes Our Mothers Gave Us" will explore the parental, cultural and societal experiences that season a person's life -- in other words, the "recipes" for success, happiness, heartache and failure that have been passed down from parent to child and between friends over the generations. But theatergoers also will be treated actual recipes prepared by local chefs.

I find this concept really fascinating; because theatre is such a visceral and sensory experience, it makes sense that in addition to appealing to an audience's eyes and ears, you can appeal to other sense as well-for this particular production taste. However, I'd be concerned and interested to see if the experience of 'dining' detracted and took away from the performance aspect of the show.
I love this. I think that food, just like theater or dance, is an experience that's meant to be shared. Creating a discussion about the performance around a meal is such a lovely way to talk about and experience culture. Unlike Isabel, I don't think that the dining experience will take away from the production sine it's offered after the performance. I'd be interested to know whether or not the performance and the dinner really do flow together as a single experience, or if they are simply two related events taking place one after the other.
