The Pines Dinner Theatre, 448 N. 17th St., Allentown, presents “A Second Helping: The Church Basement Ladies Sequel!” Friday through May 13.

The ladies of the church basement are back. This time around, the year is 1969 and the world is changing. As folks protest the Vietnam War and women are demanding equal pay for equal work, in their small rural Minnesota community the ladies of the Lutheran church basement kitchen are dealing with changes of their own.

With heartwarming humor and hilarious antics, “A Second Helping: The Church Basement Ladies Sequel!” takes us from serving the high school students at the Luther League Banquet, to a church sponsored Missionary Night, and the rise and fall of a Viking’s Super Bowl Sunday. From the elderly matriarch of the kitchen to the young mom-to-be, these women find strength in each other as they deal with the joys and upheavals from below the “House of God!”

Inspired by the book “Growing Up Lutheran,” A Second Helping mixes together delightful original music, endearing characters and heavenly fun in this deliciously funny comedy.

Under the direction of Oliver Blatt and musical direction of Stacy Bechtel, “A Second Helping: The Church Basement Ladies Sequel!” boasts a hilarious cast. Dan Baker as Pastor, Jan Labellarte as Mrs. Vivian Snustad, Karen Querns Dupper as Mrs. Mavis Gilmerson, Legera Danielides as Mrs. Karin Engelson, and Seana Benz as Miss Beverly Hague will sing and dance their way into your hearts.
