Chorus - Eric Steven Sharp and Helen Magnolia Hensley
Christopher Pentheus - Robert Thompson
Jerry - Teri Carlson
In a world where the blockbuster film is considered mere popular entertainment for the masses and live theatre is intellectual fodder for the elite, one boastful playwright is about to anger an action-loving deity. With tragic backstory in tow and expendable friends to help him on his journey, Christopher Pentheus must endure an epic road trip to save the script that was stolen from him. Told on an empty stage, with just an overworked 2 person chorus, and very little Tech, the Almighty plans to prove his storytelling methods are supreme!

A little love story about the visible and the invisible. The power of all the people that we love, near or far, and how they come to help us when we most need them. It’s also a story about having to prove love to somebody else. Oh, and an Indian Goddess. Oh, and the island of Ireland.
When it all boils down to it, No Cake is the story of me and the story of you, because at the end of the day we all need to know someone is watching out for us. No matter where in the world we stand, we need to know we are always visibly and invisibly connected.
