Certain foods connect us to our past, to our family, to meaningful life moments. The smell of something cooking — even something as basic as a bowl of soup — triggers memories and speaks to us in a way that nothing else can.
In this soul-warming drama built around monologues, five teens share what their unique bowls of soup mean to them. For Esther, her bowl of matzah ball soup represents freedom. For Oscar, his bowl of tortilla soup reminds him to always follow his dreams and persevere. Ashby feels connected to the South with her bowl of gumbo, even though she barely remembers when they lived there.
The five monologues, each about three minutes, are interwoven with reflective echoing responses from the ensemble. It all comes together to form a beautiful, short one act that leaves everyone with something to savor. The minimal props and set pieces make this touching one act ideal for contests, for a simple virtual production, or for a staged show, possibly even as part of a dinner theatre program.
