Let them eat ‘Cake’
Theatre Arlington bakes up an all-too familiar dilemma in ‘The Cake’ RICH LOPEZ | Staff writerrich@dallasvoice.com We’ve all seen the headlines: Some baker refuses a same-sex couple’s request to make their wedding cake.
And while courts usually handle that issue, Theatre Arlington is taking it on in its own way. This weekend, the theater will open The Cake, a play about just such a scenario.
TA’s executive producer Steven D. Morris directs the play. “It’s about a woman named Della, and she’s about to be a contestant on The Big America Bake Off.
Her ‘goddaughter’ basically comes to her and wants her to bake a cake for her wedding where she’s actually marrying a woman,” Morris said. “She’s not sure if she’ll do it or not, and the show is about that struggle [over] whether she’s able to accept someone that she loves or stick to her beliefs.” Cast with four actors, the show features Shannon J.
