It is 1959 and the day of the Sunday School Christmas Program. As the children rehearse up in the sanctuary, the ladies of the kitchen are finishing up the goody bags and putting final touches on the Nativity pieces. Little do they know what surprises are in store for them as they are called upon, once again, to step in and save the day!

The Church Basement Ladies is a musical comedy that was inspired by the book Growing Up Lutheran, written by Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson in 1997. It’s a fun look at what life was like growing up Lutheran in the Midwest in the 1960’s.

Reprising their roles in the newest CBL installation are everyone’s favorite church basement ladies: Barb Reeves as Vivian, Alicia K. Meyers as Karin, and Bren. Eyestone Burron as Mavis. And, of course, Wayne Kennedy as Pasto Gunderson.

Away in the Basement originates from Plymouth, Minnesota.
