About the play: Della the baker makes cakes, not judgement calls- those she leaves to her husband, Tim. But when the young woman she helped raise comes back home to North Carolina to get married, and the fiance is actually a fiancee, Della’s life gets turned upside down. She can’t really make a cake for such a wedding, can she? For the first time in her life, Della has to think
for herself.
Cast:
- Della- female, 50s-60s, pleasant, round, white
- Tim- male, 50s, her husband, a good ol’ boy, white
- Jen- female, 20-39, has dreamt of her wedding day her entire life, white
