“COMMUNITY DINNER is a social event as much as a performance, and I enjoyed everybody at my table as we dug into this rare public banquet and talked about our longing for more coherent communities.”

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 celebrated 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.
