Food-flinging fun that brings together four unlikely characters in a stew of hijinks and hilarity!

Gussie Richardson, a famous food columnist and cookbook author, had been offered her own daily network television show, through the efforts of her over-zealous agent, Bernie. Thrilled at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Gussie is ready for the fame that comes with hearing, “Lights! Camera! Action!”, except for one thing…she has terrible stage fright!

While fearful her television success will prevent her from spending time with him, Walter, Gussie’s husband, attempts to assist her with her phobia by practicing his amateur skills as a hypnotist. Meanwhile, their neighbor Carmen, an “authentic” gypsy princess who enjoys a frequent “nip from the bottle”, gets in on the action casting her spells. One cup of hypnosis, a tablespoon of spells and a pint of bourbon equals a recipe for disaster, amusement and an all-out food fight that will leave the television viewers…and theatre audience…doubling over with laughter!
