About The Play

An Interesting Recipe

Jen has dreamed of her wedding her whole life; she's found the one and returns to her North Carolina hometown to ask her deceased mother’s best friend, Della, to bake her wedding cake. But Della refuses because Jen is marrying a woman. Mix in a baking reality TV show and dormant marriage, and then things get very, very interesting.

Facts About The Play

• From a writer of the hit TV show This Is Us

• Inspired by the events that led to the Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission Supreme Court case

• Bekah Brunstetter says of the character Della:
  "Della is very much a conglomeration of a lot of women that I’ve known and observed in my life. I tried to imagine what it was like in her home and why she believed what she believed. It’s easy for people like her to feel how they feel about same-sex marriages. I believe once that situation is in your world, you can’t push it aside. I didn’t want her to just change all of a sudden. I was trying to focus on the small change."
