Soups, Stews, and Casseroles: 1976

May 21 – Jun 19, 2016 in Goodman's Owen Theatre

2 hours and 15 minutes with one intermission


Life was sweet in this small Wisconsin town. Then corporate America came to the table.

A wave of uncertainty spreads across Reynolds, Wisconsin, after a Chicago-based corporation acquires the town’s main employer, leaving workers and their families to fear for their livelihoods. The merger, however, presents longtime employee Kim a newfound opportunity—and a moral dilemma. Rebecca Gilman presents a timely, thought-provoking look at workers’ rights and the effects of big business on small town lives.
