About the show and reviews:
“Julia Says, ‘Bon Appetit!'” by Clay Teunis
Julia Child was an American cook, author and television personality who introduced French cuisine and cooking techniques to America. She was in the vanguard of “foodies,” who by changing America’s taste, helped create modern American culture. While her public face and voice became familiar to all of us, this play focuses on her private side – especially the relationship with her husband, Paul Child. Our play is a love story!
“After the show we went (in character) to Chez Panisse where we schmoozed with Alice Waters and chef Jean-Pierre Moule. It was one of the best nights I’ve ever had at Chez Panisse, with all the of the old days, when good food was not as serious as it has become. Of course, with “Julia” on my sleeve, how could I go wrong? Alice and Jean-Pierre were charming, totally into the theater, and Linda Kenyon was magnificent even without a script. The whole restaurant was into it.” -L. John Harris
“Linda really IS Julia Child!
The hair, makeup, dress, voice and demeanor-all of it. It really was amazing and so much fun to watch. -Betsy R. Graft
