The Cake
Nashville Repertory Theatre, 2022
Jen returns home to North Carolina to plan her dream wedding, where Della, her mother's best friend, refuses to bake her wedding cake because Jen is marrying Macy, a woman. For this production, lighting plays a key role in differentiating Della's bake shop, the bedroom in Della's and Tim's house, the bedroom where Jen and Macy are staying, and also the fantasy world (later nightmare) where Della imagines being in the Great American Bake Off television show.
