Award-winning actress and Smithsonian Scholar Mary Ann cooks up her own unique recipe for fun as Julia Child, the witty Queen of Cuisine. Meet the wonderful woman who changed culinary history because of the great love of her life, Paul Child. He introduced Julia to French cooking and inspired her to follow her dreams. And this at a time when people in America were more interested in tv dinners and getting out of the kitchen!Julia Child was more than just an innovative chef. She was also a terrific author, educator and television personality who set the standards by which all subsequent cooking shows have been judged. Bon appetit!The show pays tribute to the incredible energy, passion, and sense of playfulness with which she approached her greatest loves: her husband and her cooking. The program highlights Julia's early search to find her life's calling. It provides fascinating insight into her struggles at Le Cordon Bleu, to develop and publish "Mastering the Art of French Cooking", and finally to create the groundbreaking "French Chef" television show.Using audience members to portray Julia's beloved husband Paul and her co-authors Simca and Louisette, it's a lively recipe for fun! Anyone who enjoys ethnic cooking or fine dining can thank the ebullient Julia Child for opening up America's kitchens and minds! Her popularization of French cooking through books and television began a food revolution whose effects are felt to this day. Julia set the standard and format by which all cooking shows would be subsequently judged and taught us to look outside our country for culinary inspiration. But she was far more than an outstanding cook. She was a tremendous scholar, teacher, and innovator whose joie de vivre captured the hearts of all who met and saw her.Julia Child will be the perfect way to start the holiday season with renewed enthusiasm for entertaining! The show is free and open to the public; however, reservations are required as space is limited. For more information email historicviennava@gmail.com or check our website historicviennainc.org
