Let's rewind to the beginning of this delightful tale:

Imagine a blank canvas, a fresh start, and a tight-knit group of Madison's very own writers and performers ready to dive in. They're on a mission to cook up a whirlwind of entertainment, and they've got just 2 weeks to make it sizzle! Say goodbye to the pursuit of flawless perfection and hello to a wild expedition into the realm of untamed creativity. Welcome to the world of Are We Delicious? This crew has been dishing out a feast of theatrical wonders since its inception – think uproarious comedies, heart-wrenching dramas, mind-boggling mysteries, and even foot-tapping musicals!

Every collaborator fortunate enough to grace the realm of Delicious possesses an inherent uniqueness, consistently extracting the pinnacle of excellence that defines our very essence. Our creative tapestry has been enriched by the brilliance of comedians, improv virtuosos, seasoned thespians, melodious minstrels, wordsmiths, and even artisans of puppetry, converging to shape a vibrant mosaic of artistic expression!

We specialize in crafting captivating, high-energy theatrical experiences of the utmost professionalism, all meticulously developed within a brief two-week span. Our diverse repertoire encompasses a range of formats, each showcasing our dedication to excellence:

1. Classic Delicious: Delight in our unique assortment of distinct skits, thoughtfully intertwined by a central theme that threads its way through the entire performance.

2. Saga Delicious: Immerse yourself in the art of narrative as we present complete stories that unfold seamlessly from beginning to end. Our accomplished actors maintain unwavering character portrayals, resulting in a captivating, overarching journey.

4. Immersive Podcasts: Step into the realm of auditory storytelling with our fully immersive podcasts. Let the power of sound transport you to new dimensions of narrative wonder.

At Are We Delicious?, we invite you to witness the synergy of creativity, dedication, and energy as we redefine what is achievable in the realm of professional theater.

In 2023, we celebrate the return of this cornerstone of the Madison professional theater scene, founded by our beloved Impresario Tony Trout in 2012. In April of 2023, the torch officially passed to Stacey Garbarski and Gina M. Gómez. Both artists look forward to continuing the AWD? tradition and breaking barriers! So, there you have it – a journey from a blank slate to a full-blown spectacular, with laughter, drama, mystery, and music all thrown into the mix. The curtain is rising once more on a tradition that's bound to keep us hooked, and we can't wait to see what Stacey, Gina, and the Are We Delicious? crew have in store for us!
