Cornerstone Theater is presenting “Lunch Lady Courage,” a play about school food and all the issues surrounding it (hunger, poverty, the environment, budgets, education). Local 99 members were interviewed by playwright Peter Howard as the project was in development and member Frank Boeheim, a cafeteria worker at Bethune Middle School, has a part in the play!
“I’ve never performed in a play before,” said Frank. “As a cafeteria worker I can say that Lunch Lady Courage is pretty accurate. I think everyone involved in this play – from the students to the actors to the costumers to the set builders – have learned that it isn’t easy to change school lunches. It’s complicated.”

“Lunch Lady Courage” runs Thursday through Saturday until April 13 at 7:30 pm at RFK Community School’s Cocoanut Grove Theater, 701 S. Catalina St. Los Angeles, CA 90005. Tickets are “pay what you can.”
