Think The Bear but Emmy Browning is Jeremy Allen White and she’s actually cooking for you on stage. Upon arrival, guests will be given the opportunity to participate in the story or to simply sit back and enjoy. HANDS! is a live cooking ensemble play where Chef Jay and her kitchen staff have to make the perfect potato bite for each audience member and plate it by the end of the show. Performed like a TV show, a camera operator will be following actors on and off stage so you can see the "back of house" experience. It will be like bing watching a limited series on HBO but it’s a play. Come full.
ARE YOU HAVING DINNER OR BRUNCH BEFORE THE SHOW? Emmy Browning has collaborated with two of her favorite Frogtown restaurants and created specialized menus with the chefs that relate to the show. Both are about a 3 minute drive from the theatre, 15 minute walk. ENJOY!
