This wildly successful comedy was first produced at Laguna Playhouse in 1997 and is back by popular demand! This outrageous farce has all the right ingredients for a delicious night of laughter. There's a married couple with sexy secrets, a cook mistaken for a mistress, a mistress who can't cook, and enough mistaken identities and confused alibis to have audiences in stitches!
