Millbrook Playhouse Adds Shows to THE KITCHEN WITCHES Near Sold-Out Run

Millbrook Playhouse is brewing up delicious fun with the next production of The Kitchen Witches, opening in the Poorman Cabaret this Friday, August 5.

The award-winning comedy, written by Caroline Smith, tells the story of Isobel Lomax and Dolly Biddle, two rival cable-access cooking show hostesses who have hated each other for 30 years, ever since Larry Biddle dated one and married the other. When circumstances put them together on a TV show called The Kitchen Witches, the insults are flung harder than the food!

Dolly's long-suffering TV-producer son Stephen tries to keep them on track, but as long as Dolly's dressing room is one inch closer to the set than Isobel's, it's a losing battle, and the show becomes a rating smash as Dolly and Isobel top both Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer!

Directed and starring Millbrook favorite Marc De La Concha as Isobel Lomax and co-starring another popular Millbrook regular Shannon Agnew as Dolly Biddle. Also, featuring newcomers Eric W. Schutt as Stephen Biddle and Joshua Hornback as Rob the Camera Guy. Set Design by Kelli Harrod, Costume and Wig Design by Michael Blatzer, Lighting Design by Ethan Vail, Props Design by Amanda Griffith, and Sound Design by Alex Wolf.
