for the intermission goodies at a children's theater ensemble play? Ticket price is $12, and if I can find a pot, I'll have hot coffee or tea and chocolate, also cold water.
I'm thinking cookies, lots of cookies, but also maybe muffins? Or brownies?
No nuts allowed, or I'd bake my killer almond macaroons.
Maybe fruit. I'm debating on that one, since noone has ever offered that before, but I've seen it at a few adult theaters and am thinking it wouldn't be a bad idea, and anything leftover will get used up by me and the spousal unit.
And the weekend after, I get to do it all again, and find out that _that_ crowd likes a totally different mix than I put out the first weekend<G>

maxine in ri,
For tea, I'm reminded of afternoon tea with scones in England. A famous match.

[digdigdig] Ah! here's that scone recipe. Hmmm. Only made 15 scones. Will think about it for the Sunday shows. Someone on the winter thread mentioned cider. A crockpot of that might be nice.....

Instead of scones, there's always plain ol' brownies. Then there's always banana cake, in the brownie style. Include ReddiWhip?

Well, this comes fomr a cake lover, so may not apply. I hate it when I go somewhere and they do the fruit routine, it is like chickening out, doing the easiest thing, and disguising it as a public health concern. Let people worry about their own weight and provide both. As I have a bunch of apples from the garden I might make a poundcake based apple cake with cinnamon on top, which is nice and warming in the cold , wet and dark weather...

If brownies would go like hotcakes, why not just make hotcakes?

Select from the following list: Gingerbread, spice cake, coconut cake, carrot cake, applesauce cake, oatmeal-date cookies, pumpkin bread, and zucchini bread. Offer hot apple cider, too, and if you can get it, offer to spike the drinks with Torani Ginger Spice syrup.

Have you ever had a fruit pizza?
At one job, a client delivered fruit pizzas to us at Christmas.
Delicious works of art. Concentric circles of various fruits. And from memory it looked pretty time consuming to arrange.

That might be similar to teh apple cake I suggested. Was it a pound cake base with the fruit on top in these fancy patterns? Perhaps with a whitewine gel covering it?

Michael,
It was too long ago to remember and I didn't take much notice but the crust was sweet. Maybe a sweetened puffed pastry (?). I dunno.
I don't know if there was any wine over it. I couldn't taste any. Probably a mild simple syrup, if anything.

Has it really become that bad?
I'm assuming this due to issues with children who may be allergic to peanuts, with parents too lame to teach the afflicted child to be responsible for his/her own actions, that and you don't want to be sued into the next life. I hadn't realized this "nuttyness" had spread to all varieties of nuts. If some "no nut" kid comes to my house, he's gonna die, cuz I love all kindsa nuts and baking nut fumes, or even my own muching-an-almond nut breath, will have him writhig in agony on my floor. I guess I'd better put up a sign in my yard, "BEWARE OF DANGEROUS NUTS". Use your own interpretation. ;)

I like when people don't even bother to try to even build a fruit basket, instead just putting a supermarket plastic bag full of apples out.

...and anyone who'd do just that would probably be tasteless enough to buy Red Delicious apples at that! Ugh.

Can you make the macaroons with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds? (that would freak out the "no nuts" Nazis). :-)

Small cookies, on the thought that there will be many children in the audience and a small cookie might be less messy than anything else you mentioned. Too many crumbs with muffins, IME.

If the event is held during the holiday season, gingerbread and pumpkin bread are excellent ideas.

If Damsel were here she would *thwack* you for saying that. lol
Since my husband is gluten intolerant, rice crispy treats are an excellent idea, sometimes it is the only thing he can eat. Children also seem to like them. You can make them a day or two ahead, which helps.

If brownies, I'd think about making a non-chocolate one too. Not everyone can eat chocolate--and some folks <gasp> may not be that fond of it.

This appears to be a great one, but I'd add some vanilla extract, and would up the butter to a full cube (2T): http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,194,154174-236200,00.html Using cake flour makes them nicer too. Just use 1 cup + 2T of cake flour. Make sure to use whole milk too :)
I was, of course, joking, and hotcakes are probably not ideal for your play.
I would go for brownies as everyone likes them. my son loves cooking with me, he is 2 1/2, and made me chocolate muffins with his mum yesterday. but for his playgroup halloween party we made shortbread and used coloured icing and sweets to decorate them. we made scary faces and monsters.
All the kids loved them, and so did the adults. well so i was told as i was at work when the party was on.
