The Weekly dish

"Nominated for the 2022 Tony Award for Best Play! Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage returns to Berkeley Rep for the first time since her extraordinary play Ruined. In this feel-good comic drama, the formerly incarcerated kitchen staff at a truck-stop sandwich shop attempt to rebuild their lives. While their tough-as-nails boss – who slings sizzling insults fast and processed food even faster – tries to thwart their dreams, each staff member is encouraged by the mysterious chef to indulge in imagining, then creating, their perfect sandwich. A buoyant play full of witty dialogue, Clyde’s is a transcendent story about people rising above their past mistakes and reconnecting with the world." -Berkeley Rep

Instead of doing a traditional sit-down interview, I asked the cast of Clyde's to prepare their favorite sandwich as they answered some of our questions.

These clips were turned into a social series called "The Weekly Dish", where the actors candidly touched on the themes of the show, shared their own experiences, and of course, showed off their cooking skills.

I produced, directed, and edited this project with the support of the artistic and production teams at Berkeley Rep. I also pre-chopped some of the vegetables.
