5 LESBIANS EATING A QUICHE

Written by Evan Linder and Andrew Hobgood with contributions by Mary Hollis Inboden, Megan Johns, Thea Lux, Beth Stelling and Maari Suorsa, directed by Sara Gitenstein, and presented by Tony Award winner John Arthur Pinckard (Clybourne Park, Silence! The Musical), 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche stars Caitlin Chuckta, Rachel Farmer, Megan Johns, Thea Lux, and Maari Suorsa, who take us to 1956 where the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein are having their annual quiche breakfast. Will they be able to keep their cool when Communists threaten their idyllic town?

5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche began as a 10 minute play in Collaboraction’s Sketchbook 10, and was developed by popular demand into a full length play which broke box office records for The New Colony and has gone on to enjoy regional premieres from San Francisco to Omaha to Charleston. The play sold out its entire run at this summer’s FringeNYC, winning the Outstanding Production Award.

“We are extremely excited to announce the addition of 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche which will make our fall season complete!” said SoHo Playhouse, Inc. Artistic Director Darren Lee Cole. “New York’s theatrical elite hoped this show would never see the light of day but after the amazing response it received at the Fringe they had no luck trying to stick their finger in the dyke.”
