A startlingly theatrical and darkly comic oeuvre, In Pigeon House at once explodes and upholds the romantic myth of the traveling show.

The food world calls it a buffet. You're not really sure what you want to order so you hit the smorgasbord and take a bit of everything.

This July and August, Artists' Exchange will showcase 21 dishes across 6 weeks, some sweet, some mild, some sour and some bitter, something for every palate and for every appetite. The 7th annual One Act Play Festival will run tonight, July 19th through August 26th. Hope you're hungry.
