More than 50 taped interviews with food-industry folks are the subject of the play
Eat This! KC Chews on the Politics of Food. Written and directed by Stephanie Roberts, UMKC assistant professor of physical theater, it's kind of the who, what, when, where and how behind the always burning question, "What's for dinner?" Afterward, the audience shares a meal with Bread KC, the micro-financing organization that attempts to find sustainable support for the local creative community. This UMKC Theatre production runs through March 10 in Studio 116 of the Olson Performing Arts Center (4949 Cherry, 816-235-6222). Tickets for this evening's industry-night performance cost $10. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. See
