FEED: Plant explored the question: how do we connect to the natural world in a way meaningful enough to save it? Plant’s menu was our first ever plant-based FEED menu, created by Bob Sargent of Savory Cuisines. Colorado writer and actor Peter Trinh was commissioned to write one of the four performance pieces, and was joined by Amanda Berg Wilson and company member Sam Gilstrap to form Plant’s ensemble. A four-courses meal was served next to Lone Hawk’s garden with organic French wine and other beverages paired in collaboration with the theatre to explore this central question. The live music of Colorado chanteuse Nika Garcia and musicians Bill Kopper and Dave Corbus wove the night together.

What happens to fictional characters once the story ends? When their last reader no longer remembers them, where do they go? If their author is gone, are they? After The End is a journey through the bardo-esque landscape of wayward storybook characters fighting for survival in a world intent on forgetting them. We think of reading a story as entering a portal into a new world, but in this immersive theatre experience, the portal comes after the story ends.
