“Who’s Hungry – Santa Monica” – Dan Hurlin, Dan Froot & Amy Denio

Dan Hurlin – best known for his puppet plays in New York City – has joined forces with Dan Froot and Composer Amy Denio to create a companion piece to Who’s Hungry – West Hollywood, which premiered in 2010 at Plummer Park’s Great Hall, West Hollywood, CA.  In Who’s Hungry – Santa Monica, the piece “tells the oral histories of five very different homeless and/or food-insecure Santa Monicans, through five 15- to 20-minute segments, woven together much as a chef weaves a succession of flavors into a cohesive multi-course meal.  

Who’s Hungry is the brainchild of award-winning playwright, composer, choreographer and performer Dan Froot, an associate professor in UCLA’s Department of World Arts and Cultures / Dance. Working in close collaboration with Froot is Dan Hurlin, a nationally acclaimed puppet artist who is designing and constructing the objects and sets, as well as directing.”
