If there is need for a last minute gift for mom, “Church Basement Ladies" at Raue Center For The Arts on stage this afternoon at 3:00 may be just the thing.
We all know and love them! The basement kitchen throughout much of America is often the heart and soul of any church. In "Church Basement Ladies" we meet the pastor, three main kitchen cooks and one daughter who run the kitchen and care for the congregation by preparing and serving the food. Like any great kitchen, problems are solved here as well. We see the four women handle a Lutefisk Dinner, a funeral, an Easter Fund Raiser, and, of course, a wedding. They stave off potential disasters, have fun, share and debate recipes, instruct the young, and keep the pastor on due course.
“Complete with twelve songs, it is a celebration of the church basement kitchen and the women who work there. Funny, touching and down-to-earth—audiences will ‘laugh ‘til their side dish hurts’ with the ladies’ hilarious antics. They will recognize these ‘steel magnolias’ of the church as they see the year unfold from below the House of God,’” according to Cedar Valley Entertainment.
Prior to the show, at 2:00 p.m., there will be a free reception and bake sale. Whether it’s just to sample some treats or honor Mom with a great pie, it’s the perfect place to bring her for Mother’s Day! Followed by the smash-hit musical, it’s the perfect gift she’ll never forget.
This show is sponsored by McHenry County Living, the Northwest Herald and Countryside Flower Shop. Tickets are $50, $47 and $43. They can be purchased at or by calling the box office at 815.356.9212. Raue Center is located at 26 N. Williams Street, in historic, downtown Crystal Lake, Illinois.
