THE CAKE at Horizon Theatre Company

All is going well for Della. Her North Carolina bakery is legendary and shes just been cast on her favorite television baking competition. And when the girl she helped raise comes home and asks her to make a cake for her upcoming wedding, shes overjoyed until she discovers that the fianc is actually a fiance. Dellas life is suddenly turned upside down. She cant really make a cake for a gay wedding, can she? Struggling to reconcile her deeply-held belief in traditional marriage and the love she has for the woman she helped raise, Della finds herself in strange new territory. Inspired by a story still in the headlines, this marvelously funny new play by Bekah Brunstetter (TVs This Is Us) is proof that love is the key ingredient in creating common ground.
