davis_squareYou're invited to
sprout spaghetti dinners is a dinner theater series seeking to bring
people from the Somerville and Cambridge communities together around
good food, good music, and good 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. You can
find information about past dinners at our blog.
The theme for this month's dinner is Money! Money! Money! It will be
happening just outside of Davis Square at sprout (339R Summer St.)
on Wednesday February 17 with dinner at 7:30pm and performances
beginning at 8. $10 suggested donation. The spaghetti will be prepared
by Food not Bombs, and our performers will include ::
- Local musicians Jon Hersh and Kathy Fletcher playing a set of
old-time tunes on banjo, fiddle, and voice.
- Frank Ackerman, a research scientist at Tufts, speaks about the
economics of global climate change, addressing the question, "Does
it make economic sense for us to try to fight global warming?"
- Shauna Gordon-McKeon, a researcher in the field of moral
psychology, will perform and discuss experiments in social psychology
and behavioral economics looking at how money affects our
decision-making processes.
- Liz Hall and Casey Engels of Artists in Context will present The
Fundred Dollar Bill Project, a nation-wide drawing project started by
artist Mel Chin. Audience members will contribute to the project by
designing their own "fundred" dollar bills to help raise money and
awareness to begin clean-up efforts of lead-contaminated soil in New
Orleans.
- Community members will also share personal monologues responding
to the prompt "Literally, money represents gold or silver; socially, it is
a status symbol; personally, it might mean everything from success to
security to selling-out. What has money meant for you?"
Please send any questions to spaghetti@thesprouts.org or call
617.575.9219.
