Cookin’ With Gus

Gussie Richardson is a famous food columnist and cookbook author. Her agent comes to tell her she’s been offered her own daily network television show. She wants to do it, but her husband Walter is dead set against it and Gussie discovers she has stage fright and can’t open her mouth in front of a camera.

Cookin’ with Gus brings together four unlikely characters in a stew of hijinks and hilarity. Fun for the performers and a great evening for the audience.

Behold Carmen, the Gypsy, strutting her stuff while hypnotized as a chicken.
Food fight! Food fight! Anyone up for a good old fashioned food fight?
