Ringwald Presents THE CAKE Beginning Next Month

Opening November 16 at The Ringwald, Bekah Brunstetter's acclaimed comedy-drama The Cake takes a political hot-button and bakes it into something deeply and sweetly personal.

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 her betrothed is another woman-Della's life gets turned upside down. She can't really make a cake for such a wedding, can she?

The Cake is a bittersweet culture-clash comedy by Bekah Brunstetter, who has spent the last couple of years writing for two of the hottest shows on TV: "American Gods," the Starz series based on the acclaimed fantasy novel by Neil Gaiman, and "This Is Us," the award-winning NBC dramedy on which she's also a producer.

The production is directed by Dyan Bailey, stage managed by Andy Lograsso-Gaitens and features Suzan M Jacokes as Della, Joel Mitchell as Tim and introducing Maggie Alger and Audrey Jai as Jen and Macy.

The design team features Chris Fortin (costumes), Christopher Kamm (set), Brandy Joe Plambeck (lights), Katy Schoetzow (props), and Dyan Bailey (sound).

Tickets can be purchased at www.TheRingwald.com or at the theatre, located at 22742 Woodward Avenue in downtown Ferndale. The Ringwald box office opens 45 minutes before performances and tickets can be purchased with cash or credit card. For more information, please call 248-545-5545.
