sprout is a Boston-area group of learners and teachers working to uncover the scientific stories of everyday phenomena, now offering a new dinner theater series that seeks to bring people from the Somerville and Cambridge communities together around good food, music, and performance.

Each month, we’ll find an eclectic group of performers to explore the month’s theme through different lenses. In the tradition of dinners hosted by NYC-based theater company Great Small Works, we want to cast new light on common ideas from artistic, musical, and scientific perspectives.

The debut performance will include:

• Mr Right Flag: a passion by Penelope Hillfrau, is a solo puppet drama about almost everything.  Penelope writes: “it was born from a long tour, but it’s not clear whether it was given birth to or thrown up.”
• Paid Late: a performance by John Malpede (founder of Los Angeles Poverty Department and a fellow at MIT’s Center for Advanced Visual Studies) is a monologue about the consequences of credit card debt (or lack thereof).
• What is Honk?: a cantastoria, or picture performance
• Brass band music, and accordion music by Peter Buchak

Disclosure: I am a member of the HONK! Festival organizing committee, and have done graphics for Great Small Works.
