Babette's Feast

It brings us into the cloistered 19th-century world of two loving, devout Lutheran sisters

We see how they and their fractured community reluctantly, then completely, embrace Babette, a mysterious French refugee

But when Babette - to the community's shock and amazement - sacrifices all she has to throw a lavish dinner party, the dinner guests magically and inexplicably experience radical, infinite grace

Babette's sumptuous feast is more than a meal

It is a subversive act of supreme artistry that invites an abundant experience of forgiveness and transforms the entire community

And we all learn how embracing the stranger can change a community for the better

CAST
F3 + 6 Either + Extras as desired.

"It's timely with a twist, in that it highlights the plight of a refugee seeking asylum, who through her munificence creates a lavish feast that becomes an abundant experience of forgiveness and connection that heals a fractured community ... a bundle of exciting contradictions: stark and lush, stunning and austere, mysterious and comic" ~ TheaterMania
