plays inspired by food

by the Playwrights of The WorkShop Theater

in The Main Stage Theater

"BOTTOM LINE: Our highest recommendation! The most exciting new work of the Off-Broadway season. Six brilliant short plays by superb writers, performed by a stunningly beautiful cast and superbly orchestrated by a masterful director. A must for enterprising theater-goers!...Please, WorkShop Company: Let's have another half-dozen courses from this delectable menu." --Ronald Gross, NY Theater Buying Guide

"Cumulatively it’s an entertaining program that gives a wonderful showcase to the excellent cast of actors that have been assembled to portray these often rich roles."

"To have selected this fine cast who all give superior performances, staged them all expertly, and realized the potential of each work is triumphant achievement.  Her work combined with the fine writing and excellent ensemble makes A la Carte: A Feast of New Plays, a very fulfilling theatrical event." --Darryl Reilly, TheaterScene.net

"...  I had never seen a mainstage play at this prolific off-off Broadway space. I picked the perfect show to whet my appetite... All are directed effortlessly by Leslie Kincaid Burby."

"A La Carte all goes down easy and makes for a great sampler of an evening." --David Lally, nytheater now
