Chaos, comedy, and cake collide in Eat Cake, the Queer wedding of the century. Ariel and Addison are throwing their dream wedding, a DIY extravaganza, but the clock is ticking and everything is a disaster. The guests won’t stop screaming at each other or running into backrooms to make out, the cake is a catastrophe of colossal proportions, and an un-invited guest shows up stoned. What’s worse, is the couple even into the whole “gay marriage” thing or are they just doing it for their family? Featuring a diverse and colorful cast, Eat Cake is a riotous modern comedy that asks whether the love of two misfits can triumph in the face of familial calamity, and the sacrifices they have to make along the way.
