Equal parts drama, documentary, social experiment, and installation, Eugenia Woods' new play Famished reveals a view of the relationships we develop with and around food and the often convoluted ways we seek to satisfy our essential hunger. Derived from dozens of interviews and performance-based interaction with Portland audiences, FAMISHED reveals the rules, rituals, traditions and sheer pleasures of nourishing ourselves and others.

Famished is Moving!

FAMISHED will perform at IMAGO THEATRE in SE Portland (SE 8th and Burnside). Our application to make the former Mt. Sinai Church building (our home for the last three years) into a Neighborhood Art Center is currently pending with the City. We have our fingers crossed and are expecting a verdict on January 21st! We hope to resume operations in the King Neighborhood very soon, but in the meantime IMAGO THEATRE is an excellent venue for FAMISHED.
