Recipe-for-a-recipe

We are so excited about our upcoming performances of Barbecue! To help celebrate, we invite you to participate in our Recipe-for-a-recipe game. Family barbecues and cookouts are something that we all enjoy!

There is nothing better than the anticipation of enjoying a signature dish made by the hands of your favorite family member! We all have recipes of our favorite dishes that have been passed down through the generations and whose flavors stand the test of time!

Share your favorite family recipe with other theatre lovers and treat yourself by taking and trying one of their recipes.

Here is how you play:

  1. Download our recipe card.
  2. Write down your favorite family recipe.
  3. Cut out and bring your recipe card with you when you attend one of the performances of Barbecue
  4. Pin your recipe card to our recipe wall (located in the hallway, right of the theater).
  5. Unpin another participant’s recipe of your choice, take it home, cook, and enjoy!

Optional: Share your experience on social media and tag #humanracetheatre
