The Cake: May 15-June 8, 2025

This touching dramatic comedy by Bekah Brunstetter stars real-life married couple Luisa Sermol ("The Siegel") and Tom Gough ("The Mousetrap," "The Game’s Afoot") and is directed by Executive Artistic Director Lisa Mallette. Talk about a dream team!

Synopsis: Della and her North Carolina bakery are renowned for creating the most delicious, beautiful cakes. So it’s no surprise that when the girl she helped raise returns to the South, she asks Della to make her wedding cake. The surprise? There are two brides. Now, even as Della’s life is complicated by the unexpected chance to be on a reality baking show, she questions her beliefs and her marriage – and the true meaning of family, faith and frosting.

Featuring: Luisa Sermol, Sundiata Ayinde, Lizzie Izyumin and Tom Gough (with a special guest actor as The Voice).

This production is generously supported by Executive Producer Sandra Moll and Producers Jonathan Karpf & Kathleen Zaretsky.
