Storyteller House Presents: The Cabana
June 6-8 at Cookeville Performing Arts Center
Pack your beach bags! Storyteller House is excited to present The Cabana at Cookeville Performing Arts Center this spring. Set against the backdrop of a beachfront resort in the Florida Keys, The Cabana is a story of the unshakable strength of women’s friendships, forged in youth and tested by time. After a chance meeting as girls at a poolside cabana, Margaret, Jackie, Carolyn, and Nancy form a bond that weathers the storms of love and loss. Across decades, as their lives unravel and rebuild in unexpected ways, they return to the same resort—for the nostalgia, the escape, and the refuge they find in each other.
Auditions: MARCH 29 - 10AM-12PM @ COOKEVILLE CHILDREN'S THEATRE
Rehearsals: May 3-June 5
Performances: June 6-8

In "The Kitchen" by Laura Holloway, the Martin family navigates the complexities of their relationships amidst the backdrop of their patriarch Barney's declining health. The play opens in the present day in Rose Hill, Mississippi, with urgent late-night phone calls summoning the children and grandchildren back to their family home. As the siblings reunite, the family's kitchen becomes a battleground for old grudges,
and a safe place for sharing long-buried secrets. It's family, sickness, and death, and somehow, thankfully, that also means it's comedy.

When former college roommates reconnect at an airport lounge during a flight-grounding blizzard, they revisit old times and the people they used to be. When the flights are delayed all night, the steady flow of the cozy bar’s refreshments provides the encouragement needed to reveal darker and darker secrets about the two decades since they last saw each other, a night when one made a phone call that changed both of their lives forever.

As the lively hum of happy hour fades and the dinner rush begins to taper off, a bustling restaurant transitions into its next act, filling with bar patrons. The restaurant itself remains an unseen presence, hinted at only by muffled sounds: the clinking of glassware, bursts of laughter growing louder, and the faint strains of live music—a solo singer blending into the ambiance except when punctuated by the sudden opening and closing of the bathroom door. But behind that door, a different world unfolds. Isn’t it fascinating what truths and dramas emerge in the quiet, private space of the bathroom?
