1000 Meals with 1000 Artists
A theatre producer sits down for one on one conversations with artists over a meal at local restaurants. Sharing a meal is something that is universal across all cultures. For longer than we can even document, we have been sharing meals with family, friends, loved ones, and colleagues. This project is a way to get to know the artists in our community. This is not an interview. This is not a sales pitch. This is a conversation. A chance for us to connect, share stories, and talk about all things art.
