The third and final offering is America's Next Top Kid Chef Showdown by José Casas and Jenn Hartmann Luck. America's Next Top Kid Chef Showdown is a musical comedy that centers on the fictional #1 rated kids cooking show competition hosted by the fantastical Cosmo Ridley. We are witness to the final episode of the season: the finale of the competition. The show features four children as they battle it out for the honor of being the best kid chef in America as well as the $100,000 grand prize. The three judges strive to choose the best contestant as they battle each other for attention. As the competition gets brutal and one kid contestant is eliminated we discover touching stories from the tweens' home life as well as the judges and host which leads to honest, self-reflective, and heartwarming revelations. Directed by Banji Aborisade. Lena Gabrielle is the Music Director. Readings will be held on Saturday, June 21, at 7pm and Sunday, June 22, at 2pm. There is a pre-show event co-sponsored by TYA/USA, more information found on the reservation site as well as the Google site. Best enjoyed by ages 9 and up.
