ABOUT THE EVENT
Phoenixville Public Library presents Linda Kenyon as legendary cook and TV personality Julia Child, in a performance of Clay Teunis’ one-woman play, Julia Says, “Bon Appetit!” on Tuesday, February 18 at 7:00 PM. Julia Child (1912 – 2004) was an American cook, author, and television personality who introduced French cuisine and cooking techniques to America. She was in the vanguard of “foodies,” who by changing America’s taste, helped create modern American culture. Her most famous works are the 1961 cookbook, “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” and her first television series, “The French Chef.” She starred in eleven other television series, and was the author of eighteen other books. While her public face and voice became familiar to all of us, this play focuses on her private side, especially her relationship with her husband, Paul Child. The play is a love story! Julia tells about growing up in southern California, her adventures in World War II, learning to cook French Cuisine, learning to teach and becoming a public figure. At the core was her love for Paul and his love for her.
