Based on the book by Michael Pollan Written, Conceived, and Directed by Natsu Onoda Power Professor Natsu Onoda Power ('Madness & Civilization,' 'Trees and Ghosts') once again brings her singular vision as an adapter, director and designer to transform a powerful non-fiction text into an unconventional and memorable performative event. This ensemble-based stage adaptation of Michael Pollan’s best-selling book moves from the corn fields of Iowa, to a small organic farm in Virginia, to America’s dinner tables, grocery stores, and fast-food emporiums. The production engages the question: “What should we have for dinner?” — a quandary which Pollan says has confronted us since man discovered fire, and the answer to which may well determine our very survival as a species. Tuesday, July 26 at 8 p.m. (preview) Wednesday-Friday, July 27-29 at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 30 at 3 and 8 p.m. Sunday, July 31 at 3 p.m. Tickets for performances are currently unavailable.
