Sierra Rep presents 'Church Basement Ladies' opening April 19, 2013



'A musical celebration of the church basement kitchen and the women who work there, Church Basement Ladies features four distinct characters as they organize the food and solve the problems of a rural Minnesota church about to undergo changes in 1965. From the elderly matriarch to the young bride-to-be, we see them handle a record breaking Christmas dinner, the funeral of a dear friend, a Hawaiian Easter Fundraiser and a steaming hot July wedding. They stave off disasters, share and debate recipes, and keep the Pastor on due course while thoroughly enjoying (and tolerating) each other as the true steel magnolias of the church. Funny, touching, down to earth and family-friendly. Move over Menopause the Musical, Church Basement Ladies is coming to challenge your appeal.' - The Post Standard
