Oakland Theatre Project Serves Up History, Humor and Heart with "Comfort Food" This August

BEVERLY HILLS, MI — The Oakland Theatre Project invites audiences to grab a plate and pull up a chair for its upcoming summer production of Comfort Food, a delightful comedy written by Rob Roznowski, a theatre faculty member of Michigan State University. This unique dinner theatre experience will run for three nights only—August 12, 13, and 14—at 7:00 p.m. inside the Theatre Arts Lab at Groves High School.

True to the spirit of the production, the event features a unique "BYOD" twist. "You provide the dinner, we'll provide the theatre," says artistic director John W. Rutherford. Patrons are highly encouraged to bring their own picnic dinners or takeout meals to enjoy at their tables while viewing the performance (note: non-alcoholic beverages only).

<h3>A Delicious Journey Through Time</h3>
Comfort Food is a clever, fast-paced comedy that explores the fascinating intersection of food and American history. The play unfolds as a collection of scenes told in reverse chronological order, taking the audience decade by decade back to the publication of the very first American cookbook.
Funny, poignant, and deeply insightful vignettes trace how our changing menus reflect our changing society. Audiences will witness:
<ul><li>The high-tech convenience of the 1970s microwave clashing with the triumphs of women's liberation.</li><li>The swinging, free-wheeling 1960s perfectly encapsulated by the chaos of a backyard fondue party.</li><li>The stark, moving contrasts of the 1930s, where Great Depression bread lines are juxtaposed with glamorous high-society cocktail parties.</li></ul>

<h3>Celebrating Local Talent</h3>
This production serves as a vibrant showcase for the Metro Detroit educational theatre community. The cast features several prominent local high school theatre directors stepping out from behind the scenes and onto the stage, including Mary Bogrette (Bloomfield Hills High School), Dan Dobrovich (Cranbrook Kingswood), Chris Kuhlman (Utica Academy of International Studies), Eric Maher (Berman Center for the Performing Arts) and Heather McKaig (Novi High School). As well as other notable local talents including: Kristin Bratton (Sterling Heights), Amira Kamoo (Detroit), Eric Kent Franz (Ferndale), Brittany Lauren Robinson (Southfield), Wyatt Setty Robinson (Southfield), and Rebecca Starr (Beverly Hills).

Bringing this episodic comedy to life is a collaborative powerhouse of local directors. The piece is helmed by John W. Rutherford (W.E. Groves High School) with additional guest directors&nbsp; Chris Kuhlman (Utica Academy of International Studies), Heather McKaig (Novi High School), Eric Maher (Berman Center for the Performing Arts), Ashley Wickett Lane (Next Step Broadway), and Kristin Bratton (Barebones Theatre).

Poolside Performances&nbsp;are an exploration of experimental music, movement, and mark-making.&nbsp;Join us for an expressive, experimental, solo set by multi-instrumentalist Leith Campbell.&nbsp; 
Leith Campbell works at the intersection of technology and creativity. She works to find new, more organic methods to express emotion using technological means, as well as using machines to interrogate humanity’s relationship to technology. From tech-mediated avant-garde composition to electro-mechanical sculpture, there are few mediums under the rubric of technology she has not intersected with her practice.
Originally an instrumentalist with an improvisational focus, she has reinvented and renewed her practice many times. Since 2017, Campbell has been exploring notions of space, perception, phenomenology, and identity, as well as developing new pedagogies synergizing technology and art. She received her Master of Arts degree in Media Arts from the University of Michigan in 2017 and her Bachelor of Music degree from Wayne State University (WSU) in 2011. In addition to teaching at WSU, she also presides over the metal fabrication department of the College for Creative Studies.
She has installed and performed works locally, nationally, and internationally, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Detroit’s Orchestra Hall, the Power Center in Ann Arbor, End Tymes Festival in Red Hook, Brooklyn, and Electric Eclectics festival in Ontario. She is a recipient of the Culture Source Creators of Culture Grant, a 2014 Knight Foundation Arts Challenge grant, and is a 2022 Kresge Arts in Detroit Fellow. She lives in Midtown Detroit, where she continues to practice sound, music, design, and sculpture. 
Poolside Performances occur rain or shine and are free and open to the public with RSVP. A cash bar will be available throughout the evening.
