The motto is, “No men, no meat, all manners.” It’s a comedy, it’s a farce, it’s a cult classic. It’s a quiche-devouring, soul-searching, delightful commentary on sisterhood, self-expression, and sexual liberation.
5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche features five women assembled in a church basement for the 1956 annual meeting of the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein’s annual quiche breakfast, a highly anticipated event. However, the gathering is thrown into an uproar when an atomic bomb alarm sounds and the Sisters must confront the doomsday possibility that they may be the only people left on earth.
“The play shows us how challenges humankind faces today are not much different from those we were facing 60 years ago,” observes actor Lily Bartholomew. “It also reminds us that a little laughter (or a lot) and good friends make even the toughest of times and scariest of situations feel surmountable.”
“Who doesn’t love quiche?”, asks actor Tracy Perrine. “This play is hilarious, refreshing and promotes an inclusive message, while being intensely absurd and funny.”
5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche runs June 9—25 in Flagstaff and July 2 in Sedona.
