August 10 & 11, 2018 at Five Points Museum of Contemporary Art, Victoria.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT was a series of short scenes developed around the theme of FOOD: kitchen mishaps, family gatherings, picnics in the sun.
Talking bovines, confused chefs, and nutrient delivery systems all made an appearance in this series of vignettes written by Debra Chronister, Nina Di Leo, Dylan Pollard, Randy Pollard, Randy Wachtel, and Walter Womack.
