H*TLER’S TASTER BY MICHELLE KHOLOS BROOKS
Directed by Kaitlin Paige Longoria

Three times a day, every day, a group of young women have the opportunity to die for their country. They are Adolf Hitler’s food tasters. H*tler’s Tasters is a fictional retelling of a largely unknown story of the young German women conscripted to taste Adolf Hitler’s food for poison. This dark comedy explores the way girls navigate sexuality, friendship, patriotism, and poison during the Third Reich. Using an anachronistic retelling of a historical footnote, H*tler’s Tasters considers what girls discuss as they wait to see if they will survive another meal.
