<h3>THE CAKE</h3>
<h5>BY BEKAH BRUNSTETTER</h5>
<h5>DIRECTED BY: RILEY RAWSON</h5>
In a small North Carolina town, Della’s life is as sweet and satisfying as one of her famous confections. She runs a beloved bakery, believes in the Bible, and is thrilled to be baking a wedding cake for her late best friend’s daughter. But when that daughter, Jen, arrives with her fiancée—another woman—Della’s deeply held beliefs are suddenly put to the test.
As wedding plans collide with personal convictions, The Cake serves up a heartfelt and humorous exploration of love, faith, family, and the messy middle where they all meet. From the writer of This Is Us, Bekah Brunstetter’s touching play invites us to consider what happens when our ideals are challenged by the people we love most.
Warm, witty, and full of heart, The Cake is a compassionate comedy about finding the courage to face what we don’t yet understand—and choosing connection over division.Running June 4 to 14; Thu/Fri/Sat at 7:30; Sun at 5 p.m. 
​**Running time 90 minutes; no intermission**

Realty Associates of Atlanta 

Dear future clients, I am writing to share my updated professional bio, which highlights my unique background and dedication to the Atlanta real estate market. With a career rooted in a deep-seated passion for helping others, I bring a unique perspective to the Atlanta real estate market. My journey in the industry began during the challenging years of 2007-2009, where I gained invaluable experience helping clients navigate the complexities of buying and selling homes during a pivotal time in the market. After stepping away to dedicate myself to a career as a Registered Nurse, I have officially returned to the industry and became licensed again in 2024. My background in nursing has profoundly shaped my approach to real estate; the same advocacy, attention to detail, and care I provided to my patients are now the cornerstones of the service I offer to my sellers and buyers. I am committed to providing a high-level service that prioritizes my clients' needs above all else. Whether you are looking to sell your property or find your dream home in Atlanta, I am here to guide you through every step of the process with the compassion and dedication you deserve. I have grown up in the Tucker area and have raised my children here. I am just a phone call and short drive away. I would be honored to help you and your family with any of your real estate needs. Best regards, Wellsley Kerr Bojak
