Amana - Church Basement Ladies, the musical comedy that celebrates the heart and soul of every church - the basement kitchen and the women who work there- opens Sept. 9 on the Main Stage of The Old Creamery Theatre.

The cast consists of Jean Liuzzi of Boston; Nicole Savitt of Arlington Heights, Ill; Deborah Kennedy of East Amana; Kamille Zbanek of Ely; and Sean McCall of Marengo. Directed by Curt Wollan, Church Basement Ladies was inspired by the books of Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson, including the best seller "Growing Up Lutheran." Written by Jim Stowell and Jessica Zuehlke with music and lyrics by Drew Jansen, the Church Basement Ladies will be serving up laughs with the casseroles and dishing out advice with the Jell-O salads.

Called "a hot dish musical that is doing casserole business," by the Minneapolis Star Tribune, you won't want to miss out on the excitement, so join us where the coffee is always perking and there's more than enough fun to go around.

Church Basement Ladies is rated Theatre G, and runs through October 17. Show times are Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 3 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $26.50 for adults and $17.50 for students. Group rates are available for 15 or more. Reservations are highly recommended as some performances are nearly sold out.
