About the work:

Strange rumors swirl around an underground supper club that enticed the most die-hard foodies until its sudden closure several years ago. The family business ran out of their eccentric home, drawing praise and fascination from the most respected critics and chefs. Up-and-coming podcaster Candice Kimball brings a group of her most devoted Kickstarter supporters to the site of the house following a series of episodes interviewing guests who remember the experience of eating Chef Gil's food. Stay is an intimate immersive work for 8 singing actors, surrounding audiences in an unexpected journey through rumors, truths, and sing-alongs.
