A socially awkward college senior finds a kindred spirit while taking the questionable advice of a tenured professor. A newly minted resident playwright sweats her latest production while her devoted husband tries to keep her sane. A frazzled new mother and her last remaining single friend envy each other’s lives. A mismatched pair of medieval monks try to find peace or a good conversation, depending on who you ask. This ensemble comedy follows the interwoven tales of family, friends and lovers trying to survive the absurdities and indignities of academia, art and adulthood through banter and baked goods. After all, in this unpredictable world, we all need someone to share cake with, even when we want to shove it in their face.

    Saw this a few years ago when my theatre company put it up. I really enjoyed it. It was fun to see the lives of such very different people, and yet find out how they were all interconnected. The relationships also felt fresh and different from what I usually get to see. I am also a sucker for a strong ensemble piece, and Cake delivered.
