Congregation Bene Shalom proudly presents "5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche," brought to you by Mosaic Players.

Skokie, IL: Congregation Bene Shalom proudly presents “5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche,” brought to you by Mosaic Players, a traveling theatre troupe whose work embraces social justice, human rights, and equality. “5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche,” written by Evan Linder and Andrew Hobgood, will be performed at Congregation Bene Shalom (4435 Oakton Street, Skokie, IL 60076) on October 21 at 7:30pm. Closed captioning will be available for this performance.

“5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche” is a satire of women's roles in the 1950s, enlisting its characters in a caricature of the sexism, heterosexism, consumerism, and Communism exuberant in the era. Come join us for this absurdly adorable and unapologetic declaration of female independence! “5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.

“As an inclusive congregation, we are excited and proud to present '5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche.' We hope you attend this satirical comedy and support our synagogue community.” -Laura Schwartz, President Congregation Bene Shalom Hebrew Association of the Deaf

Congregation Bene Shalom looks forward to welcoming the community to this hilarious play. Ticket sales will raise funds to support our synagogue and enable us to provide a spiritual home for all. Incredible prizes will also be raffled during the event. Refreshments will be available for purchase to complete the evening.

“This show is a comedy with heart. There are many laugh out loud moments, but heartfelt as well. Another thing that’s really special is all five of the characters are lesbians. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a play where every character is gay, or at least canonically gay. I also love the community feel of the show. Not only the community of the characters, but of the audience as well. Everyone there is part of this quiche breakfast!” - Bonnie Hart, “Ginnie”
