"The Kitchen Witches" Cook Up Some Fun at the Redlands Footlighters Theatre

Directed by Steve Johnson, "The Kitchen Witches" comes to the Redlands Footlighters Theatre, premiering at the Opening Gala on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 8 p.m. The show will run for four weekends, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Isobel and Dolly, two rival cable-access cooking show hostesses that have been lifelong enemies, find themselves together on a new show. Think Julia Child and Paula Dean fighting over a man and a roast chicken. Temperatures quickly rise, food and insults fly, and Dolly’s son Stephen tries to put out the fires on and off the set. The ratings (and animosity) continue to grow as people tune in to watch the drama come to a boil. Some fun family secrets unfold as the show goes along. This small but talented cast is filled with local Redlands theatrical talent. Mary Curruthers who has graced the stage has been featured in several shows, including many musicals at the Redlands Bowl, such as Mary Poppins. Tickets can be purchased online or through the box office which is open two hours before each performance. Admission is $15, $10 with student ID.
