CURRENT AUDITIONS

SecondStory Repertory is holding auditions for our April 2026 production of “The Cake” by Bekah Brunstetter.
Directed by Lani Brockman and Danny Miller

Della, a devout Christian baker in North Carolina, is overjoyed when her late best friend's daughter, Jen, returns home to get married. But when Jen asks Della to bake a cake for her and her fiancée, Della's faith and convictions are put to the test. Bekah Brunstetter's "The Cake" is a tender, funny, and deeply resonant play about navigating differences with love and understanding. It’s a heartfelt exploration of faith, family, and the complexities of acceptance, proving that even the sweetest intentions can lead to unexpected challenges.
