Stories from the Stage

Food for Thought

Season 2 Episode 13 | 26m 59s

Day by day, meal by meal, food becomes a part of who we are. Jo’s mother astonishes her family by baking a pie for dinner; Gauri rises above a low point to discover new opportunities through baking; and after the death of his father, David goes to Afghanistan where a Pop-Tart takes on a whole new meaning. Three storytellers, three interpretations of FOOD FOR THOUGHT, hosted by Theresa Okokon.
