Inay Dalisay’s World Famous Lechon is a raucous comedy about family, food, and fake meat. Set in the Labis family’s extravagant backyard kitchen (a.k.a. “dirty kitchen”) over a series of get-togethers, the characters hilariously navigate their complicated relationship with food - literally and figuratively.

Inay arrives at a time when Filipino cuisine is gaining long-overdue attention in the American food landscape. While the play celebrates Philippine foodways, customs, and traditions, it also addresses the hard-hitting realities that Filipino-Americans experience some of the worst health metrics of any ethnic group in the country with some of the highest rates of diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

The play hopes to inspire communities everywhere to embrace healthier habits without losing any flavor - culinary or cultural.

In-person June 16-25, 2022 (Thursday-Saturday) @ 8pm + 4pm matinee, Saturday, June 18th.
