When Cake and Broccoli are unexpectedly rejected, they must learn to be good so the humans will eat them. But will these unlikely buds find the answer before they face the unmentionable fate of being thrown in the trash? Or is the meaning of “good” more elusive than it first appears? By complicating harmful narratives classifying food as “good” or “bad,” this play for ages 6 and up prompts us to reflect on the meaning of worthiness and the value of food in our lives.

TASTE BUDS: THE ADVENTURES OF CAKE AND BROCCOLI will be presented as a reading as part of UTNT (UT New Theatre) 2024.
