It was a groovy success at Soups, Stews and Casseroles for the Hungry Soul, held March 10, 2014 at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. With a great showing of foodies and theatre lovers alike, guests arrived clad in their best seventies get-ups to support Operation Food Search. While tasting “far out” recipes from St. Louis Chefs’ Recipes Volume II, the psychedelic crowd also enjoyed an exclusive tour of The Rep’s Studio Theatre and set of Soups, Stews and Casseroles: 1976. Along with pancake art from Dr. Dan the Pancake Man and a funky tunes from Rob Levy, host of KDHX Radio’s Juxtaposition.
