Dinner.

Theatre.

Community Dinner is an inclusive performance event that encourages dialogue and skill exchange between local theatre artists and a diverse group of new Vancouver residents. One part cooking show, one part biography and one part dinner party, this theatrical feast celebrates the one thing that unites us all – food. The piece features a collaboratively created performance focused on biographical material followed by a four-course meal for an audience of diners at communal tables. Community Dinner is, at its core, all about sharing food, stories and the experiences of a wide array of Vancouver residents at this exciting moment in the city’s history.

In signature idiosyncratic style, Electric Company is dragging community from the margins to the centre of the theatre experience.
