Garfield's Story: Theatre, Food Waste, and Community

From the bright lights of theatre to the humble act of sharing food with neighbours, Garfield Allen's story shows how The Bread and Butter Thing touches lives in unexpected ways.

Garfield, a freelance theatre producer with 40 years of experience bringing creative ideas to the stage, first connected with TBBT when finances were tight. Though his work bringing dance, film, mime and puppetry to audiences doesn't always pay generously, it fulfills him in ways many never experience in their careers. "I've been very lucky in life in that way," he reflects, "that I've actually enjoyed what I've done."
