The Immigrant's Table

Mary Lou Sanelli's book of poems and Italian family recipes gets a heartfelt "staged reading" at the Market Theater Friday at 8 PM. As Sanelli's Sicilian mother, Jackie Leone creates a complex and sympathetic character. Sanelli herself is a graceful performer (she also teaches ballet).

The message is universal: we are what we eat, and we eat what we are. While it's not Chekhov, it's a lot more satisfying than whatever might be on TV. Afterwards, take your program next door to Il Bistro for a free plate of amazing calamari.

NOTE: Friday is also "Sunset Supper at the Market," so it's likely to be crowded.

Sunset Supper at the Market is amazing, romantic, and the vendors are top of the line once you are fed and seated. BUT....
WARNING: huge lines for food, seating is very Puyallup Fair like at long benches..if you can even find a seat, and it is CROWDED with people bumping into each other and spilling your drink. Bring your patience and valium drip.
