A funny and thought-provoking look at our search for what feeds us. A cabaret of songs that range from Tin Pan Alley classics to pop anthems, contemporary ballads to Yiddish showstoppers, all spiced with comic personal narrative reflecting performer Belle Linda Halpern’s Jewish-American culinary journey. As she prepares the traditional Passover dish charoset, and finally serves it to the audience, Halpern’s humorous take on our constant cravings evolves to a life-affirming call to taste the sweetness in the everyday.

Touchstone goes green! For the 2nd annual “Vegfest” on Bethlehem’s South Side Greenway, Touchstone proudly presents two shows that promote sustainable living.

THE LITTLE FARM SHOW kicks up some dirt with live music, and high-spirited performances. The play navigates through the history of agriculture from 10,000 BCE to today, exploring sustainability, local food systems, and organic farming. Steeped in history, philosophy, and a wheelbarrow full of information, THE LITTLE FARM SHOW will not only entertain but will ask people to consider their food choices and the effect those decisions have on their bodies, the environment, and society.

Everyone’s favorite horned god is back! When a ragtag coalition of nations decides to save America from itself, they recruit the only satyr capable of leading the charge. Will Pan succumb to the temptations of power? Will America regain her former glory? Will the Senate confirm the first panda to the Supreme Court? Step aside, elephants and donkeys – it’s the age of the goat!

GOING GREEN THE WONG WAY brings our contemporary urban environment to life, revealing just how tricky it is to “do the right thing.” Based on guest artist Kristina Wong’s true-life adventures, elevated to surrealist heights, the production takes us from Kristina’s confrontational 6th grade science project, to her wandering years as a missionary of recycling, to her true calling as Los Angeles’ patron martyr of carbon-free living.
