Nanta is a cooking show adventure that features four engaging and athletic male and female Korean chefs in a huge kitchen preparing for a wedding banquet. As they cook, the highly entertaining foursome turn the stage full of kitchen items such as pots, pans, dishes, chopping boards, brooms and knives into rhythmic percussion instruments. When the food and fun stop flying, the performance culminates in a feast in which some lucky audience get to have a taste.

Newsweek raved that Nanta is "A big hit! Spectacular!" The Scotsman called Nanta "One of the best shows you'll ever see!"

There will be a July 10 invitation only show in which ASF, the City of Montgomery and various automotive suppliers will celebrate Hyundai Motor Company's 10-year anniversary ground-breaking in Montgomery. The remaining shows are available to the general public.
