Get Your Hands on Food and a 'Hardbody' Friday
La Jolla Playhouse's Foodie Friday will precede one of the last performances of "Hands on a Hardbody" before it hits Broadway.
The La Jolla Playhouse is inviting you to come out Friday to get your hands on some food...and then a "hardbody."
at the theater is a chance for the audience to socialize, eat and drink before a performance. Food trucks that serve up barbecue and various griddled creations (Super Q BBQ and Ms. Patty Melt, respectively) will be in the parking lot of the Playhouse to serve up hungry guests. Patrons can also sip on complimentary microbrew from Stone Brewing Co. as they munch on the food truck fare.
The eating and drinking will precede a performance of Hands on a Hardbody, which has its final performance on June 17 at the Playhouse. The adapted stage show tells the story of strangers who have had more than their fair share of hard times. The 10 people are all competing for a new hardbody truck and must endure 144 hours of emotional and physical testing to fight for it. The play is based on the documentary film of the same name and features a score from Amanda Green and Trey Anastasio of Phish, along with a masterful story by Pulitzer Prize winner Doug Wright.
