Play with Your Food comes to Fairfield.
Now entering its sixth season in Westport, lunchtime Play With Your Food combines gourmet food with one-act plays written by both emerging and award-winning playwrights and read by professional actors.
The Fairfield Theatre Company, 70 Sanford Street, will host the special PWYF holiday event, performing Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory" on Friday, December 7th.
The first cocktail hour of Play with Your Food is presented from 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM. The evening is comprised of an hour of socializing, wine and hors d'oeuvres, followed by professional actors reading Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory.
Hors d'oeuvres and wine will be catered by Barcelona Wine Bar. A brief discussion with the actors and directors follows the readings.
Tickets for "A Christmas Memory" are $43, or $38 for subscribers of the lunch series. Tickets for all Play With Your Food programs are available at 203-259-1036 or online at www.playwithyourfood.org.
See Suzy's Calendar for lunchtime performances of Play with Your Food coming to Fairfield in January - March.
Truman Capote is well-known for writing poignant fiction and short stories, like Breakfast at Tiffany's. His autobiographical short story A Christmas Memory recalls Capote as an orphaned youth in the rural South during the 1930's. Living with a slightly dotty but loving "cousin" when he was ten, Capote relates their Christmas time rituals with loving and nostalgic strokes. A television version of A Christmas Memory, starring Geraldine Page, won an Emmy Award when it aired in 1966.
A stellar cast will effectively bring the characters to life in this stage adaptation by Russell Vandenbroucke. Directed by Mark Graham of Trumbull, the ensemble includes Mark Basile of Weston, Katie Sparer of Stratford, Betty Jinnette of Norwalk, Ken Parker of Fairfield and Kristin Graham of Trumbull. The troupe is reprising its performance together, after appearing in a sold-out Greenwich Play With Your Food last December.
