Church Basement Ladies
Book by Jessica Zuehlke and Jim Stowell
Music and Lyrics by Drew Jansen

A celebration of the church basement kitchen and the women who work there, Church Basement Ladies is a musical comedy featuring four distinct characters and their relationships as they organize the food and solve the problems of a rural Minnesota church about to undergo changes in 1965. From the elderly matriarch of the kitchen to the young bride-to-be learning the proper order of things, we see them handle a record-breaking Christmas dinner, the funeral of a dear friend, a Hawaiian Easter fundraiser, and a steaming hot July wedding. They stave off potential disasters, share and debate recipes, instruct the young, and keep the pastor on course while thoroughly enjoying (and tolerating) each other as the true “steel magnolias” of the church.

Funny, down to earth, and inspired by the humorous book Growing Up Lutheran by Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson.
