THE CAKE

A comedy about baking, beliefs, and when to stop following the recipe.

MARCH 3-20, 2022

at the Kenmore Community Club

All is going well for Della. Her North Carolina bakery is legendary and she’s just been cast on her favorite television baking competition. But then, her late-best-friend’s daughter comes home from New York City to ask her to make a cake for her upcoming wedding. When Della learns that Jen’s about to marry a woman, she is forced to re-examine her deeply held beliefs, as questions of morals, judgment and family swirl around them all. This emotional and deliciously funny play was created by Bekah Brunstetter, writer and producer of NBC’s This is Us. Approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.

“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

“This Is Us‘ writer Bekah Brunstetter’s writing is hilarious.” – Hollywood Reporter

“Talented writer Bekah Brunstetter has found all the right ingredients to create a compassionate comedy…the kind of crowd-pleasing confection that audiences will eat up greedily.” – Theatre Pizzazz
