AthensWest Theatre Company Presents The Cake by Bekah Brunstetter


  • Pam Miller Downtown Arts Center 141 East Main Street Lexington, KY, 40507 United States (map)

Jen returns to her small, North Carolina hometown to plan her wedding and convince her dear family friend Della to bake the wedding cake - but when the

devout Della learns that there will be two brides and no groom, she politely declines. Both women struggle with their consciences, as they try to balance family and faith, and hope that they can have their cake and eat it too.

 Playwright Brunstetter, writer and producer of the hit TV drama This is Us, has crafted a loving and heartfelt comedy that inspired the Los Angeles Times to proclaim “This is us as we could be, if we’d all just try a little harder.”

There will be no performance Easter Sunday.
