Tales from the Kitchen Table

Hiding under the quilting frame while the grammas work. Being quiet, so you can listen to the moms talk. “Tales From the Kitchen Table” are the stories they didn’t let you hear, the ones they made you leave the room before they told. Laughter, sorrow, terror, lust – nine stories that will introduce you to nine females you may never forget.

“Tales from the Kitchen Table” is the final performance in the 2025 Bandon Fringe Festival. This one act play is performed and written by Corrie Gant, (with additional dialogue by Shakespeare and Molière), and directed by Annie McGregor.

Show time is 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 29.

This play includes mature themes, and / or strong language, and is recommended for teen and adult audience members.

Admission $10
