Pig: A Restaurant returns to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre 11/3

Get more than your fair share of pork when Pig: A Restaurant returns to the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre (307 W. 26th Street) at 8pm on November 3 and November 17. Writer Leila Cohan-Miccio (a former editor of restaurant blog Grub Street) and star Lauren Conlin Adams (who's waited tables at top restaurants like Pure Food & Wine, Balthazar, and DB Bistro Moderne) have harnessed their backgrounds in the food industry to create a solo show that lampoons everything from celebrity chef culture to ultra-locavorism.

This month, Pig: A Restaurant will be performed at 8pm on Thursday, November 3 and Thursday, November 17. Tickets are $5, which includes admission to both Pig: A Restaurant and one other show (Pangea 3000: 12 Years of Hard Work on the 3 and Somebody's in the Doghouse on the 17). Reservations may be made here.
