Julia Child meets Roxie Hart in this zany one-woman show about a career-obsessed cooking show host. It’s 1983, and fading star Chef Georgia Peach needs to dazzle her new producers. Nothing will stop her comeback-- except, perhaps, for the budding young talent living under her roof. Described by Montreal's Bloody Underrated as "a diamond in the rough," For the Love of Pie is a dark and wickedly funny story that follows an unconventional family in their quest for fame, love, and the perfect recipe.
