Synopsis: 

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. She can’t really make a cake for such a wedding, can she? For the first time in her life, Della has to think for herself.

Connect is a play-reading series that is part of SFA's larger Courageous Conversations programming. Professional actors read the script of a play that discusses moving topics at venues across South Fulton County. We invite the community to participate by listening to the actors read the script and have a facilitated talk back to discuss the main issues in the play with a subject matter expert facilitating the conversation; our previous facilitators have included Dr. Tiffany Russell, Kristin Couch, LMSW, Gender-based Violence Practitioner and Curtis King and Garry Yates, Co-Founders of Reentry Arts Connection.
