Don’t miss Church Basement Ladies – Away in the Basement at the Historic Holmes Theater in Detroit Lakes on November 30, 2023 at 2pm. Experience the ladies, chaos, and comedy, heavily sprinkled with touching moments, are in abundance! The Church Basement Ladies share and debate recipes, instruct the young, talk about hot flashes, and keep the Pastor on due course.

Church Basement Ladies – Away in the Basement takes us back to 1959 and the day of the Sunday School Christmas Program. In the midst of holiday preparations and sprinklings of love in the air, the ladies in their witty, down-to-earth style are creating their own memories from Christmases past and present. Content to do things the way they have always been done yet pondering new ideas, the reality of everyday life hits home as they plan the Sunday School Christmas Program. As the children rehearse up in the sanctuary, several of the ladies of the kitchen are finishing up the treat bags filled with apples, peanuts and ribbon candy while the others put the final touches on the nativity pieces. As they mend old bathrobe costumes, discuss the politics of who’s going to play the various roles, little do the ladies know what surprises are in store for them. Known for their hilarious antics and subtle charm, they are once again called upon to step in and save the day!

Away In The Basement is family-friendly and perfect for everything this Holiday season.

Come early (11:30 am) for the Luncheon (see below) and mingle before the performance!
