Theater in the Round is proud to celebrate the ways in which theatre has been a welcoming space for Queer people and in their 74th season 3 shows featuring Queer stories are running in succession from 1/16/26 - 4/19/26. This “Queer mini-season" is a testament to the theaters commitment to highlighting marginalized voices, especially during a time of great political and cultural attacks on Queer rights in America. These shows represent a range of expressions for what it means to tell a Queer story- from Queerness being part of an essential narrative to Queerness simply being 1 part of the complex identities of the humanity of a character.

Della makes cakes, not judgment calls – those she leaves to her husband, Tim. But when the girl she helped raise comes back home to North Carolina to get married, and the fiancé is actually a fiancée, Della’s life gets turned upside down. What follows is a tender, funny, and complicated reckoning between faith and friendship, love and tradition. February 20 to March 15, 2026 - Tickets available 1/6/26 Learn more & get tickets: The Cake | Theatre in the Round Players
