DIE! MOMMIE! DIE! Extends At The Rigwald Theatre, Additional Performances 6/11, 6/12

After two killer weekends, Who Wants Cake? is pleased to announce an extension of their hysterical production, Die! Mommie! Die! The insanely funny Charles Busch parody will have two additional performances: 8PM Friday, June 11th and 8PM Saturday, June 12th at Ferndale's hot spot, The Ringwald Theatre.

Also, in celebration of Motor City Pride on Sunday, June 6th, the 3pm performance of Die! Mommie! Die! is only $10!!

Die! Mommie! Die! is a campy melodrama evoking the 1960's "Psycho-Biddy" thrillers that featured aging cinematic icons like Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, and Lana Turner. Faded pop singer Angela Arden is trapped in a corrosive marriage to film producer Sol Sussman. In pursuit of happiness with her young employed T.V. star lover, Angela schemes to murder her husband. Will a resentful daughter, an emotionally disturbed son, and a botched acid trip expose all of Angela's deep, dark secrets?
