A Second Helping - The Church Basement Ladies Sequel

Because of the original show’s phenomenal success, Executive Producer, Curt Wollan decided to continue the story of this same group of women, the "Steel Magnolias of the Prairie," as they deal with life, death and the discovery of new adventures in the world and their lives. Eight years ago, Wollan crafted the idea of developing a new musical comedy Church Basement Ladies inspired by the books of Janet Letnes Martin and Suzann Nelson, the creators of the best-selling book Growing Up Lutheran that brought their unique brand of humor to the stage. It was a well-conceived project dedicated to those stalwart women of the church who volunteer to work in the church kitchen ... those under appreciated ladies of the church who cook and arrange the food and coffee for weddings, youth gatherings and pot luck suppers ... our mothers, grandmothers, aunts and moms.

This time around, the year is 1969 and the world is a changing. As folks protest the
Vietnam War and women are demanding equal pay for equal work, in their small rural Minnesota community, the ladies of the Lutheran church basement kitchen are dealing with changes of their own. With their heartwarming humor and hilarious antics, Church Basement Ladies 2: A Second Helping! takes us from serving the high school students at the Luther League Banquet to a church sponsored Missionary Night and the rise and fall of a Viking’s Super Bowl Sunday. From the elderly matriarch of the kitchen to the young mom-to-be, these women find strength in each other as they deal with the joys and upheavals from below the "House of God!"
