Church Basement Ladies at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre

Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre has the recipe for fun this spring with Church Basement Ladies, the relatable and rib-tickling show about the stalwart women of a church in Minnesota.

Hilarity takes over when the four Church Basement Ladies do their best to organize food, stave off potential disasters, share and debate recipes, keep the pastor on due course and try to solve the problems of their changing rural church in 1964. Together they tackle both food and food for thought while managing a record breaking Christmas dinner, the funeral of a dear friend, a Hawaiian Easter fundraiser and a hot July wedding.

Based on the Scandinavian Lutheran humor writings of Janet Martin and Suzann Nelson, authors of “Growing Up Lutheran,” the women of Church Basement Ladies are familiar and down-to-earth characters who can be found in any denomination.

Church Basement Ladies is rated G and is on stage for 40 performances through May 18 in the intimate space of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets include Chef Larry Stoops’ dinner buffet and select beverages. Children under age 3 are not admitted.
