5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche
It’s 1956 and The Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein are having their
annual quiche breakfast. As the assembled “widows” await the announcement of the society's
prize-winning quiche, the atomic bomb sirens sound! Has the Communist threat come to pass?
How will the “widows” respond as their idyllic town and lifestyle faces attacks? Winner of the
2012 NYC International Fringe Festival as Best Overall Production, 5 Lesbians Eating A Quiche
is a tasty recipe of hysterical laughs, sexual innuendoes, unsuccessful repressions, and
delicious discoveries.
