Julia Says 'Bon Appetit!'

Linda Kenyon returns to Berkeley, this time portraying Julia Child. All proceeds of this one-woman show will benefit the Berkeley Food and Housing Project's meal service to needy people.

Showtimes are 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.; a reception with the actress follows the 6 p.m. show.

In a dazzling performance, Kenyon brings to life one of America's most influential chefs. Follow Julia as she discusses her early life, her adventures during World War II, learning to cook French cuisine, and writing her best-selling cookbooks.

Kenyon is a Pennsylvania resident who has appeared on stage, television, and screen. In February, she performed a benefit for Berkeley Food and Housing Project's Women's Shelter in her equally dazzling role as Eleanor Roosevelt to a sold-out audience. Demand was so high to see her as Julia Child that we have brought her back for an encore.
