All About Cake
Winner of the 2010 New York Innovative Theatre Award for Outstanding Featured Actor (Amir Darvish) and nominated for Outstanding Costume Design (Brooke Berry and Mark Mears), Cake Productions was founded in the summer of 2009 by Francesca Day and Marta Kuersten. Shortly after the company’s inception, Brooke Berry and Sarah Brill were recruited to complete the team. The inaugural production of Modern Dance for Beginners was performed at The Cherry Lane Studio Theatre in New York City, followed by the introduction of the 2010 Staged Reading Series. In May 2010, Cake presented Psych in the East Village (Fourth Arts Block) and capped off the year with their production of Speaking in Tongues, which ran at New York Theatre Workshop’s 4th Street Theatre. In addition to creating high-quality theatre in 2011, Cake has expanded its focus to include Educational Outreach.
Cake’s Mission
Cake Productions, an all-female company, produces off-off-Broadway pieces that are culturally significant to modern, urban audiences. Cake Productions is geared towards commercially appealing, thought-provoking, edgy plays. In addition to creating opportunities for women as performers, administrators and designers, Cake focuses heavily on production values and presents their work in welcoming, accessible venues.
