The Red Velvet Cake War

"The Red Velvet Cake War" - by Nicholas Hope, Jamie Wooten, and Jessie Jones

With relatives as smooth as a glass of sweet tea or as rough as a Duck Dynasty beard, you'll enjoy the adventures of Gaynelle, Peaches, and Jimmie Wyvette in this southern-fried story of three cousins from Sweetgum, Texas who pick the worst possible time to throw the Verdeen family reunion. Not only do they plan it smack dab in the middle of tornado season, but Gaynelle bets the deed to the house that she can bake a better red velvet cake than self-righteous Aunt LaMerle, unaware that LaMerle has won every cake bake-off she ever entered. If you loved "Great American Trailer Park," you'll be right at home with this RV tale.

Directed by Kathy Currie and Larry Blain, "The Red Velvet Cake War" runs weekends May 22 through June 14. Tickets are $16 for adults and $14 for seniors/students/military.

The theater is located at 225 Iverson St. in Poulsbo. More information at jewelboxpoulsbo.org or (360)697-3183.
