In Eat the Runt, follow Merritt, an applicant for a grant writing position at a major art museum, who must meet and win over all the museum's eccentric staff in the interview process, where the hilarious and unexpected is bound to happen. In a play written with no gender pronouns, all of the actors learn all of the roles, and the audience casts the show every night.

With over 40,000 possible combinations, every performance will shed new light on each of the characters and relationships. What defines a character's identity, when there is the possibility of any gender, age, or race can play the role? Cultural stereotyping one night may become sexual harassment the next. Only you can decide. It's never the same show twice.

Advisory: RTE Rating: 13+. This play contains themes for more mature audiences. It may contain some profanity, violence or brief nudity, but these elements should not be too intense for most audiences. That being said, some material may not be appropriate for everyone and we recommend this theatrical experience for audience members ages 13 years old and up.

I've seen this show twice, and both times were outrageous and hilarious. This is an amazing production. You can only get this experience from theater. If you only see two plays this year, see this one twice. The second time was even better since I could really appreciate the effect of mixing up the actor/role combinations. There's also a twist that is very well written long before the reveal when you know what to look for. I'm hoping I can see it a third time. Collapse
