LCAA Presents A Mighty Fortress Is Our Basement

The Liberty Center Association of the Arts is proud to present The Church Basement Ladies in the musical comedy, A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR BASEMENT, on Tuesday, January 28, 2014 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. This one-day only show is the same group who performed the show at the New Dinner Theatre in Overland Park, KS. The popular series began at the Plymouth Playhouse in Minneapolis have been seen in venues coast to coast to cheering, sell-out crowds.

In the latest installment, the year is 1960 and a reformation is underway. With a new crop of Confirmands, Beverly, the youngest of the bunch, dons her first pair of high heels for her confirmation ceremony. Mrs Snustad, the matriarch of the kitchen, wins top
honors at the County Fair for her “Grand Champion” pickles. Mavis, the able-bodied
farm wife, must find a way to deal with the new “Super Highway” which
cuts through her farm. Karin, the real homemaker of the kitchen, finds new
freedom behind the wheel of her husband’s pickup truck and must reconcile a
new world of change for her daughter, Beverly. Pastor, who has always found
strength and solace in the church basement, has found new love and announces
his impending nuptials. The Church Basement Ladies are once again required
to face change head-on. Against the changing tide, these pillars of the church
stand strong in their faith and in their friendships with more crazy antics, more
great new songs and more lessons reluctantly learned.

With all new music by composer Drew Jansen who wrote the music and lyrics
for the past Church Basement Ladies installments and script by sketch comedy
writer, Greta Grosch, who also penned the sequel and the Christmas version, A
MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR BASEMENT continues to be inspired by the writings of
author/humorists, Janet Martin and Suzann Nelson including the best-seller,
GROWING UP LUTHERAN.

Audiences from coast to coast have fallen in love with these residents of the
church basement, and all agree that each new installment gets better and
better. What’s more, you do not have to have seen past installments in order
to know what’s going on. As the St. Paul Pioneer Press says; “ The genius in
the writing of Church Basement Ladies is that familiarity with previous
incarnations is optional.”
