MERIDIAN — Meridian Community College’s McCain Theater will present "Church Basement Ladies" on Thursday, March 11, as the next Arts & Letters Series production.
The curtain goes up at 7 p.m.
A celebration of the church basement kitchen and the women who work there, "Church Basement Ladies" is a new musical comedy featuring four distinct characters and their relationships as they organize the food and solve the problems of a rural Minnesota church about to undergo changes in 1964.
From the elderly matriarch of the kitchen to the young bride-to-be learning the proper order of things, we see them handle a record breaking Christmas dinner, the funeral of a dear friend, a Hawaiian Easter Fund Raiser, and, of course, a steaming hot July wedding.
They stave off potential disasters, share and debate recipes, instruct the young, and keep the pastor on due course while thoroughly enjoying, (and tolerating) each other as the true "steel magnolias" of the church. Funny and down to earth, audiences will recognize these ladies as they witness the church year unfold from below the house of God.
This Arts & Letters Series production is suitable for audiences of all ages, said Leia Hill, Foundation program coordinator. Tickets are $15, adults; $5, children.
