Della's cozy bakery in North Carolina faces a heart-stirring challenge when tradition meets love in an unexpected way. As layers of beliefs unfold, will the sweetness of acceptance rise in this tale of self-discovery and compassion?
From Concord Theatricals:
"In Bekah Brunstetter's touching and topical dramatic comedy, a vivacious, conservative North Carolina baker named Della faces a crisis of conscience when Jen - whom she loves like a daughter - asks her to bake a cake for Jen's lesbian wedding. 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 a 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."
DELLA (plays 50s–60s) Loveable, motherly, southern, conservative.
*Della requires brief presentation in lingerie*
TIM (plays 50s-60s) Della’s husband. A hard-working good ole’ boy.
JEN (plays 20s–30s) A southern girl. Dreamed of her wedding her whole life.
MACY (plays 20s–30s) Black female. Jen’s fiancée. Strong, principled.
