5 LESBIANS EATING A QUICHE is a frolicsome little play that ventures into everybody's favorite- absurdism! In 1956, with the ever-present threat of nuclear war looming over them, the widows of the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein meet in a renovated community center for a special annual event, where the prize-winning quiche will be declared in a much-anticipated ceremony. Will they be able to keep their cool when in the midst of their beloved annual event, Communists descend on their idyllic town?
"A hit at the New York International Fringe Festival last summer, this slap-happy, five-character comedy seems destined to attract a cult following." - Ben Brantley, NY Times
The Chicago Tribune raves that the show “dishes up high-spirited theatrical comfort food with a bit of a saucy kick."
