Photo Flash: Who Wants Cake's BAD SEED At Ringwald Theater

The Bad Seed will play for an exclusive four-week run at Ferndale's The Ringwald Theatre from Friday, February 20 th through Monday, March 16 th.

For this lowbrow comedy, Who Wants Cake? will offer low-price Friday and Saturday night tickets for $15. The Bad Seed presents the sordid story of 8 year-old Rhoda Penmark, perfect on the outside and rotten to the core within. Rhoda wears frilly dresses, sports perfect blonde braids, and has her curtsies down pat. She likes to play the piano and sit quietly in the arbor, reading. She's also a psychotic killer whose mother must make a decision tougher than Sophie's Choice in order to stop her murderous rampage!

Who Wants Cake? offers an over-the-top version of the classic play which stars 2 Wilde Award winners: Joe Plambeck as the evil Rhoda and Detroit-favorite Laurel Huffano as both the ever-drunk Mrs. Daigle and her husband! With so many wild twists and turns, this is one event not to be missed!

Who Wants Cake? opened the doors to their resident home, The Ringwald, in May 2007 with Fatal Attraction: A Greek Tragedy. Quickly, The Ringwald became a mainstay of Detroit's theatre community. Their first season offered up slice after slice of successful shows including Southern Baptist Sissies, Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical, Bug, and The Facts of Life: The Lost Episode. Who Wants Cake? was named the 2008 Best Theatre Group in Channel 4's Vote 4 The Best contest.
