Who's Hungry

The Charlestown Working Theater presents Who’s Hungry October 3-5, 2013. Who’s Hungry is an evening of experimental tabletop puppet plays that give a voice and face to hunger in America.  The project aims to raise awareness of the lives of those of us who, on a daily basis, must choose between life's basic necessities-food or rent, food or medicine, food or bus fare.  The production weaves together the life stories of five homeless and/or hungry individuals, incorporating puppetry, dance, music and text. 

In Who's Hungry, the performers serve the audience a visual and narrative feast.  the 60-minute puppet theater adaptation tells the oral histories of five very different homeless and/or food-insecure people through five 15 to 20-minute segments, woven together much as a chef weaves a succession of flavors into a cohesive multi-course meal.  Performed at a specially built 24-foot dinner table, the audience views the action from one side, as if they are banquet guests.

Not appropriate for children under 15.
