Overview

Nonverbal Performance! As the actors skillfully prepare Thai food on stage, their movements and facial expressions, along with audience participation, transcend language barriers, bringing laughter and joy to people of all genders and races.

The show features plenty of audience participation, including a surprise wedding ceremony and an exciting dumpling challenge, offering attendees a chance to be part of the performance.

The highlight of the show is the “Water Drum Sequence,” where drummers use standing kitchenware drums filled with water and LED lights, creating a mesmerizing climax that leaves the audience wondering if it’s their own hearts beating or the drums.

Cookin’ NANTA made its international debut in 1999 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it received an award for the best performance. Since then, it has been showcased in the U.K., Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and more. Eventually, Cookin’ NANTA premiered in New York at the Minetta Lane Theater on March 7, 2004, becoming the first Asian show to have its own theater on Off-Broadway!

Please note that COOKIN’ NANTA is closed every first Monday of the month.
