Recipe is an interactive theatre performance about food and belonging that celebrates Denver’s Five Points and Curtis Park neighborhood, running from January 9–19, 2020 at the Savoy at Curtis Park. Recipe is inspired by neighborhood interviews and historical research into the history of the Savoy building, built in 1889. From pig-ear sandwiches to family dinners remembered by residents, a neighborhood interviewee said it best: “The recipe to create a great neighborhood is love.”
The performance moves through rooms of the historic Savoy building as people of Five Points and Curtis Park — historical and contemporary — come to life, sharing stories about how food shapes their lives, relationships, and experiences of home. The show will include a soundscape of neighborhood interviews and highlight food by local eateries.
Recipe is a collaboration between three Denver-based theatre companies that make original theatre: Theatre Artibus, Grapefruit Lab, and Jeff Campbell of Emancipation Theater Company. The companies share a belief that theatre is uniquely equipped to celebrate community history. The goal of Recipe is to create high-quality theatre that sparks conversation between residents of a neighborhood that is rapidly changing and newcomers.
