3-Course Play BREAKFAST LUNCH DINNER' Gets Live Streamed Reading By Echo Theater Company
By: A.A. Cristi
The Echo Theater Company, named LA Weekly's "Best Bet for Ballsy Original Plays," presents an online reading of a three-course play with recipes by Kira Obolensky. Ingredients: a middle-class Midwestern family, a modest urban kitchen, a larger-than-life mother who visits, a striving woman, a somewhat supportive man, and a daughter named Hurricane. Mix with the world outside, the never-ending attempt to nourish and be nourished, and a 21-year time span filled with changes, both epic and ever so small.
