Off-Broadway's The Play Company brought together some of NYC's top chefs and theater artists for its sixth annual gala CABARET GOURMET 2009 -- a unique evening hosted by Broadway's Richard Kind ("The Tales of the Allergist's Wife" and "The Producers") and featuring musical entertainment by cabaret legend Karen Akers ("Nine" and "Grand Hotel"), along with savory and sweet dishes prepared by chefs from several of the city's most celebrated restaurants -- on Monday, April 27 at the American Airlines Theatre Penthouse (227 West 42nd Street) in Manhattan.

CABARET GOURMET 2009 offered theatergoers and gourmet-food aficionados alike the opportunity to mingle in an intimate setting and taste epicurean dishes prepared by well-known chefs from around the city. Participating chefs include Chef David DeCarlo from Angus McIndoe, Chef Jehangir Mehta from Graffiti, Chef Nancy Olson from Gramercy Tavern, Chef Mickey Price from Market Table, Chef Josh Eden from Shorty's .32.

Guests including David Rasche ("Sledgehammer") and his wife Heather Lupton, Buck Henry, Sarita Choudhury (NBC's "Kings"), journalist Samira Nanda, directors Trip Cullman ("American Hwangap") and Erica Schmidt ("Humor Abuse") and others joined The Play Company's Founding Producer Kate Loewald and Managing Producer Lauren Weigel along with some of NYC's top chefs.

The Play Company will be represented Off-Broadway, beginning May 9, with the New York premiere of Lloyd Suh's "American Hwangap," a co-production with Ma-Yi Theater, at The Wild Project (195 East 3rd Street), starring James Saito, Mia Katigbak, Michi Barall, Hoon Lee and Peter Kim.
