When the World Was Green (A Chef's Fable)

by Sam Shepard & Joseph Chaikin

Directed by Chris Murphy

Starring Mike Griggs & Samantha Hsu Brown

A poisoned meal. A lifetime of pursuit. An ancient feud.

After a lifetime chasing vengeance, an aging chef finds himself in prison-for killing the wrong man. When a journalist arrives to hear his story, passed down through generations, what begins as a tale of mistaken identity and a family vendetta slowly unravels into something deeper: the quiet ache of memory, the weight of inherited violence, and a final hunger for redemption.

Playing May 30th - June 8th, 2025
