The Red Velvet Cake War: May 11-12, & 18-19 2012
Comedy by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten
Directed by Lisa Sodman Elzinga
The three Verdeen cousins are throwing their family reunion on the hottest day in July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season. A pet devours everything edible, a one-eyed suitor declare his love and a wager is made on who bakes the best red velvet cake. Another fast-paced, uproarious romp with a parade of wildly eccentric characters by Jones, Hope & Wooten - the hilarious authors of Hallelujah Girls & Christmas Belles!
