After church ladies everywhere dashed to the theatre last spring for Sierra Rep’s production of the original Church Basement Ladies, SRT is bringing back the heartwarming humor and antics of this favorite flock of Lutheran ladies from rural Minnesota. A Second Helping picks up the story in 1969 with the world changing. As Vietnam War protests swell and women everywhere demand equal pay for equal work, the finely tuned ladies running the church basement kitchen face changes of their own. From the elderly matriarch to the young mom-to-be, these women find strength in each other as they deal with the joys and upheavals from below the House of God!
