Salt Lake City, UT– Silver Summit Theatre Company in conjunction with A-Muses announces the regional premiere of 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche by Evan Linder and Andrew Hobgood. Winner at 2012 NYC International Fringe Festival, for Best Overall Production! To be produced and showcased April 10 through 26, 2015 at the Sugar Space in Sugar House at 616 E. Wilmington in Salt Lake City, Utah. The show is directed by Dave Hanson with assistant direction by Amy Allred.

A frolicsome little play that ventures into everybody's favorite- absurdism!- set in 1956. With the ever-present threat of nuclear war looming over them, the widows of the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein meet in a renovated community center for a special annual event, where the prize-winning quiche will be declared in a much-anticipated ceremony. Will they be able to keep their cool when in the midst of their beloved annual event, Communists descend on their idyllic town?

The show's director, Dave Hanson, says of the show, "The title is a bit titillating, but don't let that throw you. The story really is about finding one's identity in a social and cultural situation that doesn't always allow one to freely choose what specifically that will be, or how one is allowed to express it." He went on to say, " I feel like this is a show that will appeal to broad range of people. There are of course, some very poignant themes, but it's presented in a way that is absurd, and fun, and presented by visual characters."

One of the show's producers, Michele Rideout said, "This play explores the cultural and societal influence on gender roles and sexual identity. It's set in an era that most of us would like to believe is long gone, but looking at the issues through an absurdest lens, we see that perhaps maybe it's not so far behind in the rear-view mirror as we may like." She further says, "There's evidence of this in the practical aspects of mounting the production, for example, we questioned whether or not, in light of recent events, whether or not we should warn audiences about the same-sex kiss in the show- do I need to point out the irony in that? What's the big deal about two girls kissing anyway?"
