Greater Hamilton Civic Theatre has announced the cast for their upcoming production of THE RED VELVET CAKE WAR.
In this riotously funny Southern-fried comedy, the three Verdeen cousins—Gaynelle, Peaches and Jimmie Wyvette—could not have picked a worse time to throw their family reunion. As a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gather on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season, things spin hilariously out of control when a neighbor’s pet devours everything edible, a one-eyed suitor shows up to declare his love and a jaw-dropping high-stakes wager is made on who bakes the best red velvet cake. As this fast-paced romp barrels toward its uproarious climax, you’ll wish your own family reunions were this much fun!
The cast includes:
- Cee Cee Windham – Petty Cash
- Gaynelle Verdeen – Julie Joyce Smith
- Lamerle Minshew – Lynn Minges
- Aubrey Verdeen – Dick Gentry
- Jimmie Wyvette Verdeen – Maggie Macgregor
- Peaches Verdeen Belrose – Beth McClain
