“SUPERB… a ninety-minute wonder spiked with moments of high hilarity as well as scenes of ripe emotion that sear the heart.. Debra Jo Rupp in a performance of purest gold.” — Paul Myrvold, Theatre Notes
“WOW!… puts a deeply personal, delightfully down-home face on the Gay-Wedding-Cake Wars… I cried, I learned, I loved” — Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA
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 fiancé is actually another fiancée, 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. A world premiere play from Bekah Brunstetter, NBC’s This Is Us.
