APTP makes it television broadcast debut on May 12, 2016 at 10pm when WTTW, one of the Midwest’s premier public media organizations, premieres ALBANY PARK THEATER PROJECT: FEAST. The 60-minute show was filmed live at Goodman Theatre during FEAST’s acclaimed run in Summer 2015. The production will also stream online at wttw.com.

FEAST was one of the most critically acclaimed Chicago theater events of 2015. Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune called FEAST “Moving, Provocative, Beautiful, Honest.” John Carruthers at New City hailed it as “a tremendous achievement… FEAST is recommended without reservations.” And renowned chef Rick Bayless (who knows something about food) declared it “one of the most moving, impressive, hilarious shows I’ve seen in a long time…Delicious.”

    Hedy Weiss Chicago Sun-Times
  • "I’ve spent the past 20 years meeting cooks and bakers and butchers, hearing about some of the challenges – and joys – of feeding their own communities. But I hadn’t seen anything on the subject of food quite like the brave, confident performances from a group of high school students, currently going on at Goodman Theatre."
    Steve Dolinsky The Hungry Hound
  • "The quality of the performances in "Feast" are simply overwhelming....There are beautiful but haunting voices, dancers, drummers, gymnasts, physical comedians and touching dramatists....Albany Park Theater Project's triumphant "Feast" is a deliberately hungry celebration....See it."
    Becky Sarwate EDGE Chicago
  • "FOUR STARS! A feast of color, sounds, cuisines and ethnicities, celebrating Chicago's diverse food culture"
