Washington, DC


What is A Taste of Words?


A Taste of Words celebrates visual, culinary and performing arts by creating a production that fuses the various art forms to tell stories based on a theme. Each show carries a different theme and is carefully produced and sprinkled with new ideas. You will never get the same show twice.

The use of various performance art forms makes the show similar to a food “tasting” where you get a chance to sample more than one item. The show is therefore called a “tasting” as you get a fully entertaining show usually combining theatre, spoken word and music. At times, fashion and abstract artistry is also worked into the show.

It is one of the most entertaining and unique combinations of art. The attention to detail and the desire to create a memory with each attendee makes this much more than an event – it is an experience.

The Show

This show pushes the limits of using art to entertain by fusing poetry, fashion, music and theatre into one of the most entertaining entertaining editions of A Taste of Words. A futuristic setting, special guest performers and a touch of theatre technology will have you waiting to see what happens next.

As a special feature of this show, experience a very special opening reception. Your ticket to the show grants you access to pre-show reception.

Estimated Show Time: approximately 1 hour 45 minutes (including intermission)

This show is suitable for ages 16 and older
