The musical comedy Church Basement Ladies is a celebration of the stalwart, stable, sturdy ladies who live and breathe the church basement protocol while attempting to solve the problems of a rural Minnesota church. It’s 1964 when their world and their beloved church are about to go through some major changes. The ladies are in perpetual motion as they attempt to stave off one disaster after another, and the actions between the church basement ladies and the pastor creates “holy hilarity” as one watches them share and debate recipes, instruct the young, talk about hot flashes, and keep the pastor on due course while thoroughly enjoying, (and tolerating) each other.
This production is part of the 20th anniversary national tour. Twenty years ago, authors/humorists Janet Letness Martin and Suzann Nelson, the creators and writers of the award-winning book, Growing Up Lutheran, teamed up with Twin Cities based production company Troupe America, Inc. and its executive producer Curt Wollan to turn their material/writings into a new musical comedy.
