Playwright Gwendolyn Rice with a tutorial on how to create your very own
Miss American Pie Smell-O-Vision experience!

Join us for Opening Night of Miss American Pie!

It's election night, November 2016. Amidst the exit polls and red and blue maps on TV, Maggie gets an urgent phone call from her friend Saiyna, a young photographer at the local newspaper. Rattled by the panic in Saiyna's message, Maggie decides to distract herself with a comforting ritual; she bakes a pie, while recalling specific moments from their friendship that revolve around food.

Part cooking show, part history lesson, Gwendolyn Rice's Miss American Pie leads the audience through each step of making a great apple pie, while recounting the little-known history of the lost colony at Roanoke, and examining America's history of hostility towards immigrants.

Miss Amerian Pie stars Ensemble Member Denise Blum, in a one-woman tour de force. Artistic Director Maria Caprile directs. See our YouTube channel for more clips from our exclusive interview with playwright Gwendolyn Rice!
