After a sold-out benefit performance at the brand new Hackensack Performing Arts Center (NJ) to raise money for children with special needs, ANXIETY STEW moves Off Broadway to the Cherry Lane Theatre. It's "Groupon Day" in the Upper West Side office of a struggling hippie psychologist specializing in anxiety, attracting an odd assortment of prospective clients seeking treatment for peculiar gastric maladies. The diverse clientele expresses their unique woes in song, ranging from swing to rap, country, pop, rock, Cuban folk, and reggae. In the end, a very different and unexpected technology determines the fate of the psychologist's practice. Unique in making food its centerpiece, the 'stew' represents the richness of cultural diversity but at the cost of recurring anxieties. The show serves up a massive smorgasbord of cannolis, spaghetti & meatballs, hot dogs, provolone cheese, 28+ hors-d'oeuvres, a buffet with barbecued ribs, a casserole, and birthday cake to represent the American 'melting pot.'Videos
