For some, there’s nothing better than retirement, but when Eddie Lee’s wife, Iris, joins him in retirement, the truth about his “ladies man” ways resurface. To avoid her, Eddie retreats to the sanctuary of neighborhood restaurants where coffee refills are free and the rest of his retired friends, with marital problems of their own, wait faithfully for him. When a mystery woman moves in the abandoned house down the street, with her Creole’ wiles, melt in your mouth coconut cake, and medicine cabinet secrets, Eddie is not the only one who pays her a visit; a visit that threatens to change all their lives forever.

Coconut Cake

Ensemble Theatre

Mama is up early to prepare an important meal and, even with her family on hand to help, time is running short. Tensions simmer with the Tucker women all under one roof, but things come to a boil as the violence hovering around the periphery of their lives begins to intrude upon the sanctity of Mama’s kitchen. A powerful gathering of three generations of African American women as they tangle with each other while attempting to meet a deadline for the eponymous one pot meal.
