Church Basement Ladies at the Plymouth Playhouse!
Trips-Tours
The Ladies are back at the Plymouth Playhouse with the musical that started it all! The church basement kitchen throughout much of America is often the heart and soul of any church. In Church Basement Ladies we meet the pastor, three kitchen cooks and one daughter who run the kitchen and care for the congregation by preparing and serving the food. Like any great kitchen, problems are solved here as well. We see the four women handle a Lutefisk dinner, a funeral, an Easter fundraiser, and a wedding. They stave off potential disasters, have fun, share and debate recipes, instruct the young, and keep the pastor on due course. This musical comedy based on recipes, food, and change in the church is funny, heartwarming, and down to earth. It will bring back memories of many people you know from churches everywhere. Your trip fee includes motorcoach transportation, show admission, and buffet lunch. Lunch will be provided by Boss’ Pizza & Chicken and will feature Roasted Chicken, coleslaw, beans, fries, mac & cheese, dessert, water, and coffee. Register no later than June 13, 2025. No refunds on trips. If you have any dietary or mobility requirements, please let us know at registration.
