July 10 through August 24, 2025 - Church Basement
Ladies - The Ladies are back at the Plymouth
Playhouse with the musical that started it all! The
church basement kitchen throughout much of America is
often the heart and soul of any church. In Church
Basement Ladies we meet the pastor, three kitchen
cooks and one daughter who run the kitchen and care
for the congregation by preparing and serving the
food. Like any great kitchen, problems are solved here
as well. We see the four women handle a Lutefisk
dinner, a funeral, an Easter fundraiser, and a
wedding. They stave off potential disasters, have fun,
share and debate recipes, instruct the young, and keep
the pastor on due course. This musical comedy based on
recipes, food, and change in the church is funny,
heartwarming, and down to earth. It will bring back
memories of many people you know from churches
everywhere.
Multiple dates and times so click here for ticket

located at 2705 Annapolis Lane N, Plymouth, MN.
