Church Basement Ladies: A Mighty Fortress is Our Basement

Church Basement Ladies: A Mighty Fortress is Our Basement

Presented by Paramount Center for the Arts at Paramount Theatre

“…a rip-roaring good time. It recaptures some of the original sparkle. “The crowd was on it’s feet within seconds of the closing riff…”
-Bob Hulteen / The Metro Lutheran

“…another hit for the Plymouth Playhouse.”
-Ed Huyck / Minneapolis CityPages

“…best Church Basement music and lyrics yet.”
-John Townsend / Lavender Magazine

The fourth and latest installment of the Church Basement Ladies series is coming to the Paramount next Spring. In this latest installment, the year is 1960 and a reformation is underway. With a new crop of Confirmands, Beverly, the youngest of the bunch, dons her first pair of high heels for her confirmation ceremony. Mrs Snustad, the matriarch of the kitchen, wins top honors at the County Fair for her “Grand Champion” pickles. Mavis, the able-bodied farm wife, must find a way to deal with the new “Super Highway” which cuts through her farm. Karin, the real homemaker of the kitchen, finds new freedom behind the wheel of her husband’s pickup truck and must reconcile a new world of change for her daughter, Beverly. Pastor, who has always found strength and solace in the church basement, has found new love and announces his impending nuptials. The Church Basement Ladies are once again required to face change head-on. Against the changing tide, these pillars of the church stand strong in their faith and in their friendships with more crazy antics, more great new songs and more lessons reluctantly learned.
