By GRACE HAERR [email protected]

Food is the foundation of many a hallowed tradition, from the Jewish festi- val Passover in which unleavened bread called matzo is eaten during a week of prayer to the annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival held in Des Moines, in which attendees consume more than 15,000 pounds of bacon in a single day. Almost all cultures and communities come together under a culinary banner. “Food is really the central part of any gathering,” said Charles Swanson, the executive director of Hancher. “Food drives our lives; food drives our economy.” Food was the driving force in the creation of All Recipes Are Home, a musical by Working Group Theater, a local professional theater company that has toured nationally performing its original works. “So much personal history that you can’t find in textbooks comes from food. These stories live on from generation to generation and are kept alive through conversation, art, and of course cooking,” said Cara Viner, an actor in All Recipes Are Home. Working Group Theater and Hancher have partnered for the conception and production of All Recipes Are Home, accompanied by the band Awful Purdies. The show will première inside a historic barn on the Johnson County Fairgrounds at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Both showings are sold out. “This piece is a collaboration not only between theater artists and musicians, but with our communities across the state where these conversations of food and family history were brought to light, and we have the incredible opportunity to bring them to life for others,” Viner said. Complementing the barn’s character are barrels of hay scattered on the set. Coffee-can lanterns strung between ladders for lighting accentuate the interior of a decades-old barn in which All Recipes Are Home will début. “I love that this show is taking place in a barn. What is more iconic and has more history in Iowa than a barn?” said Katie Roche, a member of Awful Purdies. “It’s really a clever and unusual use of musicians and use of space.” With agriculture a centerpiece of Iowa’s livelihood, interviews with real Iowa farmers will be included in the play. “Every Working Group show uses interviews with people involved with the is- sue central to the show,”said Sean Lewis, the artistic director of Working Group Theater. “So this was just a natural connection.” Hancher and Working Group made a connection nearly three years ago, when the organizations first starting planning their new musical. At the same meeting, they established the UI’s theme semester for spring 2015, “Food For Thought.”

Thursday, April 16, 2015 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your energy and enthusiasm will give you the edge you need to get ahead. Don’t let your impatience ruin an opportunity. Channel your skills and expertise into what you want to achieve. Efficiency and focus will bring stellar results. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stay dialed in, or you will miss the obvious. Take care of your responsibilities before you opt to have fun. Rumors, gossip, and disclosing personal information will be necessary to avoid getting entangled in a situation that can only lead to regret. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Get down to business by putting the chang- es you want to make into motion. Lend a helping hand to someone you know can contribute to a goal you want to reach. Sorrow will prevail if you don’t honor a promise. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Look for ways to use your skills and expe- rience wisely. You don’t have to make impulsive changes in order to impress someone. Focus more on using your imagination and savoring the things you enjoy doing most. Take care of health issues. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t debate what you want to do — bring about change that will help you reach your goals. Not everyone will agree with you, but arguing is a waste of time. Set your sights on your destination, and finish what you start. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone will interest you in a project, philosophy, or skill you’re interested in. You should be able to make a personal improvement that will help you get ahead or push you in a direction that offers greater stability. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep the peace, and enjoy whatever comes your way. Being willing to adapt and take part in events and activities going on in your community will encourage you to collaborate with people who share your interests and goals. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Do whatever it takes to get ahead profes- sionally. Look for a way to be more productive and cost-efficient, and you will make an impression. Socializing with people who work in your industry will help you discover valuable information. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Being honest about what you have to offer will allow you to move forward at a steady pace. Be leery of anyone making promises that sound too good to be true. Being realistic will help you avoid trouble. Love is highlighted. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stick close to home, and take care of personal matters in a fast and efficient manner. Avoid inconsistency and people looking for a quick fix. Use your intuition to guide you when dealing with contractors or home-service workers. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take pride in the work you do. You can bring about change without the help of others. Keep your plans a secret and your budget on track. A commitment in your personal life will bring you joy and greater confidence. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep a close watch on what others do. Take charge of any project you endorse or get involved in. It’s important to listen but not at the cost of losing sight of your destination. Formu- late plans, and follow through.
