Founded by veterans of Vermont\u2019s Bread & Puppet Theater in 1978, the Spaghetti Dinners began in a storefront on East Ninth Street as informal evenings for neighborhood residents and members of the downtown theater community, combining puppet theater, New Orleans brass band music, and healthy portions of spaghetti with fresh garlic. Today, the Spaghetti Dinner still works with the same formula \u2013 home-made vegetarian pasta, new performances in theater, puppetry, dance, film, spoken word and live music. It is a venue for both emerging and veteran performing artists to show excerpts of developing work, and for Great Small Works, its audience, and friends to celebrate the political and ritual calendars of New York City. These one-time-only events feed both participants and audiences with spaghetti, with art and with ideas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
