Kitchen Theatre Company & Memory Maker Project Partner for New Community Event
Kitchen Theatre Company and The Memory Maker Project are happy to join together to host a community event. Meet Me at the Kitchen is a free and inclusive event, but designed especially for those living with Alzheimer's and other forms of memory loss. During the program, the audience will enjoy scenes from reputable plays followed by lively, and often humorous, interactive discussions about each scene.
This partnership arose because the themes of the Kitchen's current production, A Body of Water by Lee Blessing (running February 18-March 8), are deeply rooted in memory, caregiving, and family. The play is a mystery about a middle-aged couple who awakens every morning in a beautiful house surrounded by water, not knowing who or where they are. Both organizations are excited to partner in an ongoing dialogue about the intersection of science and art.
Meet Me at the Kitchen is an opportunity to lessen the barriers of memory loss through theater, and share this discussion with the greater community. Join us for an insightfully theatrical morning of comedy, tragedy and romance!
