Back by popular demand after the sold-out 2009 Playhouse production!
Winner of the 2004 Bay Area Theatre Critic’s Circle Award for Best Original Script. Hot steamy nights, food from heaven and a mother from hell! OKRA takes a comical look at the never-ending question – What is stronger in the mother/daughter relationship: love or loathing?
What happens when Lillian Bourgeois smothers her daughters with vinegar and love? They cook up hilarious dreams and schemes to stop their mama from throwing their inheritance down the video poker machine. This tasty Cajun comedy has more twists and turns then an alligator in a death roll." With food playing an important supporting role, the play allows the audience to savor the smell of coffee, shrimp Creole and gumbo cooked on stage.

"OKRA doesn't only make you see and hear its characters, we smell and sometimes taste them to." - The San Francisco Chronicle
