MainStage Series:

The Poetry of Pizza


MainStage - April 27, 2008 - June 8, 2008

Playwright: Deborah Brevoort
Director: Jessica Phelps West

About the performance


A tasty morsel of a romp with the unlikely pairing of an immigrant Kurdish pizza-maker and a scholarly college professor who's visiting Copenhagen on a fellowship. When she finds herself under the spell of the creative, if a little nutty, pizza artist, complications and comedy ensue. Throw in an irascible shop owner, two older agoraphobic women, and some mistaken identities, and you have the savory toppings for a spicy comedy. Recommended for ages 18 and up.

Lucky for you the Marietta Pizza Company (conveniently located right next door to the theatre) designed a delicious and romantic menu inspired by our play. Soran himself would approve these beautiful pies! MPC has even extended their hours so you can visit them after the show. AND to make it even more appealing, show your server your tickets from that day’s performance and you will receive 25% off your bill (not including alcohol). The MPC is still serving their usual favorites but we hope you will give these new pizzas a try. They are poetically delicious!
