The Fine Art of Italian Cooking

The Fine Art of Italian Cooking is written and performed by BoyGirlBoyGirl (a/k/a Susan McLaughlin Karp, David Kodeski, Stephanie Shaw, and Edward Thomas-Herrera).

It all starts with a published text (in this case, a sensuously-written guide to Italian cuisine); from there, it’s anything goes. Four solo theater artists take their turns expounding on everything from bitter almonds to crying at the opera to eating under unfriendly circumstances—a menu of comic dishes fit for any palette. Don’t miss the latest effort of Chicago’s newest performance collective.
