CAKE Progressive Theatre Workshop | John J. Caswell, Jr.
About This Show
A reality show called CAKE has descended upon the small Denver-based bakery. Negatively covered in the press for its refusal to sell wedding cakes to same-sex couples, business has plummeted and Lotta and Laszlo Daniels are at risk of losing their livelihood. A gender-fluid femme queer with lots of hair in many places aims to bring the bigoted and lovable owners into the 21st century through complete transformation and assimilation aired on national television. A talking wedding cake presides as chaperone, ringmaster, and all-seeing eye.
CAKE was a 2016 Finalist for The Princess Grace Award.
