Church Basement Ladies Brings Laughter, Music and Heart to Abilene
If you are looking for an unforgettable evening of live entertainment during your visit to Abilene, make plans to see Church Basement Ladies at Great Plains Theatre.
This beloved musical comedy serves up a generous helping of humor, nostalgia, music, and small-town charm. Set in the basement of a rural Minnesota church during the 1960s, the story follows a group of church ladies as they navigate changing times, family life, church traditions, and, of course, plenty of casseroles. The result is a heartwarming production filled with laughter, memorable songs, and characters audiences quickly come to love.
The talented cast includes Isabelle Wisdom-Flores as Vivian Snustad, Emma Witz as Mavis Gilmerson, Sydney Fabregas as Karin Engelson, Lauren Carroll as Signe Engelson, and Harrison Lamb as Pastor Gunderson. Directed by Ashlyn Mullins with music direction by Catherine Hammer, this production brings the charm and comedy of the popular stage series to life.
