March 27: The Cake - Benefit Night for Diversity Coalition

For each show at SLO REP, the Thursday night before opening night is the final dress rehearsal, often called a “preview performance.” Many theaters sell discounted tickets to previews, but SLO REP instead offers preview performances to SLO County nonprofits.

​

We are honored to host this gathering  to raise funds for Diversity Coalition, followed by a very special play.

​

• Doors open at 6 pm for a special gathering

• Play begins at 7 pm sharp.

• SLO Rep: 888 Morro Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401

About The Cake:

Della makes cakes, not judgment calls – those she leaves to her husband, Tim. But when the girl she helped raise comes back home to North Carolina to get married, and the fiancé is actually a fiancée, Della’s life gets turned upside down. She can’t really make a cake for such a wedding, can she? For the first time in her life, Della has to think for herself. Faith, family, and frosting collide in this timely new play from the writer of NBC’s This is Us.

​

The play The Cake is based on the US Supreme Court case Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a bakery that refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.
