The Cake

March 18-April 3, 2022

​

Della makes cakes, not judgment calls - those she leaves to her husband, Tim. But when the girl she helped raise comes back home to North Carolina to get married, and the fiance is actually a fiancee, Della's life gets turned upside down. She can't really make a cake for such a wedding, can she? For the first time in her life, Della has to think for herself.

​

"The play's tight narrative construction is apparent from the opening scene, which immediately seduces us with Della's bubbly charm [...] What's refreshing and heartening about The Cake is its characters' willingness to face their differences and limitations head-on [...] This is us as we could be, if we'd all just try a little harder." - Los Angeles Times.

 

"Recommended [...] State Raw Top 10 [...] a singularly savory dramedy that crystallizes a contentious issue and, with empathy for both sides, portrays it in an edifying and insightful way [...] I left the theatre feeling moved and enlightened." - Stage Raw.

 

"Brilliant [...} Powerful and meaningful [...} great writing [...] great direction [...] abundant wit and humor." - LA Post-Examiner. "Wow! [...] put a deeply personal, delightfully down-home face on the Gay-Wedding-Cake Wars [...] I cried, I learned, I loved." - StageSceneLA.
