The Gallatin Theater League cordially invites you to meet the Church Basement Ladies of the East Cornucopia Lutheran Church of the Prairie in Minnesota. You will immediately identify with the widow, Mrs. Lars (Vivian) Snustad, who is the matriarch of the church kitchen; Mrs. Gilmer (Mavis) Gilmerson, the farmer’s wife who knows the genealogy of everyone in town; and the warm and charming Mrs. Elroy (Karin) Engleson, the best cook in the kitchen.
As they work their magic in the church basement kitchen, providing food for the congregation’s many activities, and dealing with the church’s cantankerous freezer and furnace, they are joined by Pastor E.L. Gunderson, who recently married a new young wife, and Karin’s daughter Singe who is going to school at the “U” and brings home some big new ideas for the church kitchen.
Directed by Jan Stout, who gave us the hilarious Drowsy Chaperone, Church Basement Ladies is a delightful, family-friendly comedy full of music, laughter and gentle humor, provided by characters we have all worked with in our own church kitchens!
Please support local live theater and join us for an evening of music and laughter with Church Basement Ladies at the Courter Theater. Show time is at 7 p.m. on March 15, 16, and 17. Tickets are available at Eileine’s Beauty Shop in Gallatin and at the theater the night of performance.
