THE RED VELVET CAKE WAR
a comedy by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, Jamie Wooten
Have your cake and eat it too, as you dig-in to this delectable Southern-baked comedy. Things spin out of control as we follow the outageous antics of the dysfunctional Verdeen family, who have the entire small town of Sweetgum gossiping. Three cousins attempt to throw a family reunion, unfortunately, they face an uphill battle as a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gather on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season. Add a high-stakes wager on who bakes the best red velvet cake, and the feud is on! Join the party in this face-paced romp, from the writers of "The Golden Girls", that will have you wishing your own family reunions were this much fun!
Performance Dates: Oct. 30, Nov. 01, 02, 03, 08, 09,10, 15, 16, 17. 2019
