A La Carte is a comic battle between a faux French Chef and a wily lobster set to live accordion music. A family-friendly spectacle, A La Carte is highly physical, playful interactive comedy featuring clowning, puppetry and a few unruly vegetables. A La Carte begins as the Chef sets the table for the Grand Opening of his 2-seat cafe. However, before the Chef can impress his very important guests, dinner's main ingredient stages a rebellion. Who knew crustaceans could concoct such delicious mischief?
