SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 12
Written by Greta Grosch
Music and Lyrics by Drew Jansen and Dennis Curley
CHURCH BASEMENT LADIES: A SECOND HELPING is a very funny musical set in rural Minnesota in the
basement of the local Lutheran church where dedicated, resilient and quirky women work tirelessly behind the
scenes to keep the congregation running.very event in between.The year is 1969 and the world is changing, as
folks protest the Vietnam War, women are demanding equal pay for equal work and the Vikings are facing the
Chiefs in the Superbowl, the ladies in the basement are dealing with changes of their own. From the elderly
matriarch of the kitchen to the young mom-to-be, these women find strength in each other as they meet
head-on the challenges of life. The Church Basement Ladies are Maples Rep favorites because “You’ll laugh
‘till your side dish hurts.”
