Church Basement Ladies

Arizona Broadway Theatre
7701 West Paradise Lane Peoria

A humorous celebration of the church kitchen and the women who work there, Church Basement Ladies is a musical comedy, set in 1965, about four ladies who cook meals for a Minnesota parish's functions. As the quartet cooks and interacts, they handle challenges like the funeral of a dear friend, a record-breaking Christmas dinner, a steaming hot July wedding and a Hawaiian Easter fundraiser. From the elderly matriarch to the young bride-to-be learning her way around the kitchen, the four friends share, via their memories, what is was like to grow up Lutheran in the Midwest. You can experience Church Basement Ladies, based on the best-selling book Growing Up Lutheran, at Arizona Broadway Theatre.
